Bug Description

Binary package hint: plasma-desktop

My system:

System:
   - Kubuntu Karmic 64 bits.
   - Linux 2.6.31-16-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 8 04:02:15 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
   - VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M96 [Mobility Radeon HD 4650] (with ATI privative drivers)
   - I have the PPA repository and system is updated to 31-Dic-2009.

This bug happend with and without desktop effects activated.
I think problems began to happend when i added PPA repository and updated my system with that (KDE SC 4.3.4)

I saw 2 differents cases:

1) The content of the destination folder is not showed in quick launch applet
To reproduce this case:

In your home folder:

mkdir A
touch A/test.txt
ln -s A a

Now, use the applet to view the content of "a" folder.
The file doesn't appear.

2) In another cases, with more deep in the destination folder, plasma-desktop crash.
I tried to reproduce this problem creating folders.... but i don't get it.

I have a folder Javi/Facultad/3_Sistemas/09-RC-Redes_de_Computadores
I have a link to that folder in my home
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jarizaro jarizaro 52 2009-10-26 00:45 09-RC-Redes_de_Computadores -> Javi/Facultad/3_Sistemas/09-RC-Redes_de_Computadores

Permissions of destination folder are:
jarizaro@jarizaro-portatil:~$ ls -lh Javi/Facultad/3_Sistemas | grep 09
drwxr-xr-x 6 jarizaro jarizaro 4,0K 2009-12-29 21:20 09-RC-Redes_de_Computadores

If i try to go to that folder thought link using quicklaunch applet. plasma-desktop crash.

....
Running in console plasma-desktop, the relative lines to this crash are:
plasma-desktop(6611)/kio (KDirListerCache) KDirListerCache::listDir: Listing directory: KUrl("file:///home/jarizaro/Javi/Facultad/3_Sistemas/09-RC-Redes_de_Computadores")
plasma-desktop(6611)/kio (KDirModel): Items emitted in directory KUrl("file:///home/jarizaro/Javi/Facultad/3_Sistemas/09-RC-Redes_de_Computadores") but that directory isn't in KDirModel! Root directory: KUrl("file:///home/jarizaro")
KCrash: Application 'plasma-desktop' crashing...
sock_file=/home/jarizaro/.kde/socket-jarizaro-portatil/kdeinit4__0
QDBusObjectPath: invalid path ""
...

I tried to remove ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc and reset computer, but with default applets configuration the system continues with the same problem.
