Hello,

I am using Suse 9.1 on my server and client machines.  My /home 
directory on the server is mounted as /home on my client
machine via NFS.  I am consistently getting the following error below:

When trying to create a link by dragging an item (KMail in this case) 
from the KDE menu to the desktop:

 Information - KDesktop
Could not create symlink /home/userid/Desktop/KMail.desktop.
Please check permissions.

If the user logs out then in again the link then appears.  Does anyone 
understand why this happens?  I intend using
CIFS/pam_mount eventaully instead of NFS but there are serious issues 
running KDE in home directories via CIFS.     

Thanks

Murray Trainer
