Bug Description

folders like ~/Videos using the icon view on the desktop do not launch either from the desktop or from the panel, if previously dragged there from /home/user . The dialog titled Plasma Desktop Shell pops up with the message "KDEinit could not launch /home/user/foldername'.This issue has been on my pc since KDE 4.3 and persists on KDE4.7.95 on kubuntu 12.04 64bit as well. .
