It's all about winning one for the Gipper. Give it your best try. As someone that managed (worked up the chain) a tech support group I know how my techs tried to "get off the phone" so to speak.

If it wasn't for every release of KDE having some new bug dealing with icons on the desktop (in folder view) I'd have just passed this one off as apathy. But, really, every single release seems to bring more issues. The desktop has to be perfect, IMHO since that's what people interact with the most.

Maybe next time they'll have it all fixed up nice and tidy.

With regards to the date issue, KDE 4.7 will very likely have this resolved. In the interim, check the settings of the clock itself, as I believe 4.6 allows you to fully customise it (whilst 4.7 simply allows you to make a selection from a list of format types, which then obey the system settings format for that type)

Have you fixed the issue number 2 (White question marks in Folder View)? Ran into the same problem and need a simple fix, as I am afraid to delete random cache files.

Running kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental and removing /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER/icon-cache.kcache should fix this. It is perfectly safe to remove the cache files.

That worked perfectly and was simple enough, thanks!
