STEPS TO REPRODUCE
 1. Boot to installed system
 2. Note that desktop shortcuts for Home, Trash, Computer, and Network are all displayed, along with a user-home.desktop with a 6 digit alphanumeric string appended to it
 3. Note that the file does not exist (e.g. with the file manager)
 4. Right click on the desktop
 5. Click on "Desktop Preferences"
 6. Click on the "Advanced" tab
 7. Uncheck "Home"
 8. Click OK
 9. Note that the desktop shortcut for Home and the extra non-existent file disappears but nothing else changes
10. Repeat steps above, but check "Home" again
11. Note that all of the desktop shortcuts are displayed, but also a new file, most likely computer.deskop, but with a 6 digit alphanumeric string appended to it.
12. Note that the file does not exist (e.g. with the file manager)
13. Log out and back in again
14. Note that now there's a user.desktop instead of a computer.desktop

EXPECTED RESULTS
 * non-existent files should not be displayed on the desktop
 * if shortcuts files are temporarily renamed with the random string appended, they should be recycled when finished

ACTUAL RESULTS
The shortcuts display correctly, but the additional non-existent file sometimes shows. There is an unambiguous way to reproduce (see below), but it's not consistent:
 * Lubuntu 19.04 live does not have the problem
 * Lubuntu 19.04 install boots to the problem
 * When pcmanfm-qt is restarted in Lubuntu, the errant file goes away, but logging out and back in again returns the problem

NOTES
Also occurs in Debian testing, though it doesn't initially have the problem and only affects the Home shortcut.
