I don't know what happened but after updating last night, kde on my amd64 machine no longer displays mounted hard disk volumes on the desktop even though under kdesktop-configure-behavior-device icons it is checked marked to show them. i can't seem to find this problem anywhere on the forums.

Will it do this for other users? Or is it just your profile that is borked?

Finding something like that is a needle in the haystack. If I were you I would start by making a new user, and see if it does it for that account. If it does, then you can blow away your kde settings, and reset them all again -- or examine the new users config files (for whom it works), and make the corresponding changes in yours (this could take some time).

The files that matter:
everything in ~/.kde3.5 (or whatever version number you have)
everything in ~/.local

Remove those, and your KDE profile starts from scratch...

Remove those (or better yet, rename them so you can roll-back), and your KDE profile starts from scratch...

tested it both ways and now kde is claiming that dbus has not been started when it has.
