** Description changed:

- The shortcut fo kmail in favourites has no icon and cannot launch
- kmail2. Navigating the menu for kmail produces another entry that has an
- icon and works.
+ When starting kubuntu with a small screen so the netbook settings are
+ used and then switching to plasma-desktop, the shortcut fo kmail in the
+ favourites tab of kickoff has no icon and cannot launch kmail2 as it
+ tries to launch kmail(1). You need to search for kmail2 in the
+ applications tab to start it.
  
-  Kubuntu Desktop i386 (20111011)
+ This can be fixed by pointing the entry in the favorites list to kmail2
+ instead of kmail.
  
- Oneric Pre-release image
+ [Test Case]
+ 1) Start kubuntu with a small screen so the netbook settings are used
+ 2) go to system settings -> workspace behaviour -> workspace and switch the workspace type to desktop.
+ 3) open kickoff and you'll see the broken entry for kmail.
+ 4) install kubuntu-netbook-default-settings from oneiric-proposed
+ 5) start a new netbook user session and repeat steps 2-3, you should see the working kmail2 entry now.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ The fix only touches that one entry, and it can't really get anymore broken than it currently is.
