I have *2* Desktop folders!!! Can't get rid of the 2nd :( [solved]

Hey guys!

First post, first time KDE user :)

I have this strange problem. Everytime I log on something from KDE creates a folder named Desktop1 in my home folder.
Even if I delete it, it's always created by something beyond my comprehention :)
The folder itself contains a single file: Trash.desktop with the following contents:

Source code

Is there any way I can find which application creates the folder and resolve my problem?
I've checked in Settings > Administration > paths and my Desktop is the correct folder /home/user/Desktop and therefore I don't understand what else to do..

any help is greatly appreciated :)

I don't have 2 monitors but the other day I've set up the tv-out as a separate X screen. I went back to single configuration tho and still the Desktop1 is recreated every time I login...

Any ideas professor ? :)

This happened to me when I missconfigured my multiseat and I ended up with with 2 kde screens and 2 Desktop folders. It might be that your graphic card still thinks that you still have TV.

You might try to add:

Source code

    Option         "Xinerama" "off" 


under Section "ServerLayout"

I'm pretty sure that I've got xinerama off but I'll check when I'm with my box and get back to you.

that's it you were right. A second X screen creates a second Desktop folder.

thanks a lot for the help :)
