Quick Access uses the "up one directory" icon instead of "Home" icon

It's been half a year. Would be cool if someone could at least put a status on this.

Is there anything I can do to help?

Shaved Wookie , Thanks for your patience. Unfortunately this bug has fallen through the cracks.

Could you post a screenshots of the problem and the offending icon. ?[I'm not sure what the problem here is, I use Ubuntu]
Marking the papercut task as incomplete for now

This is the quicklaunch widget, which is default on every install of Kubuntu. It is one of the first things a new user sees when they login / boot a live CD. It is used to quickly browse folders on your computer.

The icon in question is the "up arrow" in the top left corner. It acts exactly as the "Home" icon does in a web browser, taking you back to wherever you started, thus it should really be the "Home" icon. An "up" arrow in file browsing, typically is interpreted as "go up one folder level". It does not do this. I have seen countless new users assume it does, and be surprised when they jump to a completely different folder.

Sorry, that should have been "quick access widget" *not* "quicklaunch", which is a different widget.

Thanks for looking at this bug, Vish.

@ Scott Kitterman : Could you have a look at this bug? and comment wrt what can be done? and if we can get this fixed for Lucid?
Seems a simple bug that has got lost for all these days.

Seems a simple bug that has got lost for all these days. Thanks.

Unless you are also sending a contract to pay for the effort, don't assign bugs to me.

@Scott Kitterman : The bug was assigned to you for you to have a look and comment about the bug and if it was a papercut candidate..
Not assigned for you to work on it. [As i mentioned in the personal mail I sent you.]

And also , since you mentioned several times that Kubuntu wasnt getting attention from papercuts and that you were willing to look at bugs and comment on the bug nature...
This bug seemed a good candidate as a papercut and was not getting attention from kubuntu folks.
Hence assigned only for _advice_ with respect to the bug.

Subscribe and assign have different semantics. Assignment is not appropriate in this case . I will get someone to have a look at this.

[22:31:47] <ScottK> JontheEchidna: Would you please look at Bug #411760 and see if you think it qualifies as a papercut.

[22:32:27] <JontheEchidna> yeah, probably. It's fixed in trunk but I've not had time to figure out some regressions I've introduced in trunk...
[22:32:39] <JontheEchidna> I suppose I should make another point release for quickaccess sometime soon

Scott , thanks for following this up

Has this been fixed in Kubuntu Lucid?

Nope. Not unless the fix requires some PPA or something to see. My vanilla Kubuntu Lucid install still shows up the up arrow for the icon.

Can someone confirm if this is still an issue in Natty or Oneiric?

This has been marked as fix committed for a long time now. Is it actually fixed?

[Expired for plasma-widget-quickaccess (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]
