After changing username on our demo system, I didn't get a customized desktop any longer, since tl-desktop-activate crashed: [pid 2200] symlink("/home/astrand/.config/menus/applications.menu", "/home/astrand/.config/menus/kde-applications.menu") = -1 EEXIST (File exists) Unfortunately, I lost the rest of the traceback. After deleting the entire .config, things works fine, though.
