Dolphin is (still) using physical device names - and these can change

[Gordon Lack]

Dolphin is using physical device names to identify locally-attached devices.

The result of this is that if I boot a system with an external drive (USB) attached and that happens to be detected first (which happens every time on my laptop) then the local partitions, which are marked as "hidden" (as I won't ever want to unmount them) appear under Devices.

The problem is a rsult of entries like this in my .local/share/user-places.xbel file:

  <separator href="file:///local">
    <info>
     <metadata owner="http://www.kde.org">
      <UDI>/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sda7</UDI>
      <isSystemItem>true</isSystemItem>
      <IsHidden>true</IsHidden>
     </metadata>
     <metadata owner="http://freedesktop.org">
      <bookmark:icon name="drive-harddisk"/>
     </metadata>
    </info>
    <title>local</title>
   </separator>

That sda7 should be an IdUUID
