Low (In reply to comment #1) > plasma-applet-showdesktop-4.8.2-1.mga2.i586 is affected also. Damn, I wanted to say plasma-applet-folderview %( how have you installed these applet ? manually with urpmi/rpmdrake ? Nope, they were on board right after system installation, I chose KDE as my desktop. ok will try to reproduce with the pre-mageia3 s/mageia3/mageia2 ... Yep, forgot to mention: Mageia 2 RC, clean installation :) can't reproduce using the default kde desktop, and both packages are required for task-kde-minimal so it seems strange Status:

RESOLVED Well after installation I decided to clean my system a little, removing some packages useless for me (Digikam, Firefox, Korganizer, Kontact etc). After removal of course there was a message about orphans. I always try to remove orphans from system through "urpme --auto-orphans". This procedure was always safe and removed only really orphaned packages, so I ran that command without even noticing what will be removed. And was very "surprised" when after reboot had a clean desktop due to "folderview" applet removal, and also saw a red square with cross in it on panel, which indicated that my "showdesktop" applet disappeared also. I`ll try to dig a little deeper into problem. I think there is a dependency bug somewhere, gotta find out which package causes it. Found it! Removing Konqueror causes task-kde4-minimal-4.8.0-7.mga2.noarch to be removed too due to dependency. However folderview and showdesktop are dependent on kde-task-minimal too and when this package is removed these applets become orphan. If you remove one of applets task-kde4-minimal removed too due to dependency. This is curious because whole bunch of packages become orphan after task-kde4-minimal removal: dolphin, kdeartwork4-kscreensaver, kwrite and others. yep indeed this is know 'issue' you can use urpmi <the packages you wan't to keep> so urpme will not pick out these one. Yep I know about this feature that installation through urpmi marks package as manually installed, so it never orphaned then. But for unaware users it can become a little trouble. *SCRATCH* Because too many packages dependent on task-kde4-minimal. If you want to uninstall konqueror, but don't want the other packages to become orphans, the way to do that is rpm -e --nodeps konqueror echo konqueror>>/etc/urpmi/skip.list CC:
