"shouldn't be pointing to itself"<br>
- should I delete it?<br>
- what will suffer if I delete it?<br>
- is it "harmless" or "benign"?<br>
<br>
"used with KDE"<br>
I use Gnome, so I guess we can assume it runs there too?<br>
<br>
Anyway, the link in my home directory was highlighted in red, which I believe
means NG - is that right?<br>
And since the link was from 15 Aug - and this being a laptop which has been
rebooted twice a day on every business day since then - I decided to live
dangerously and delete it.<br>
<br>
Thank you, and thank you in advance for any additional information you may
be able to share.<br>
