I have "repeated entries of Home, Root, Network and Trash" in the Places section of Dolphin. This repeating of these entries... Home, Root, Network and Trash... happen as a group and the group repeats after every opening of Dolphin. So for example...initially if I open Dolphin I get 1 set of Home, Root, Network and Trash" in the Places section. If I open the second time I get 2 sets of Home, Root, Network and Trash" in the Places section. This scenario goes on and on. I found that if I disable or remove kde-misc/homerun-1.2.5 (including version 1.2.4) that this resolves the "repeated entries of Home, Root, Network and Trash" in the Places section of Dolphin. The following are the actual steps I preformed to correct the issue: 1. Disabled kde-misc/homerun via add widgets 2. Executed the following: rm ~/.kde4/share/apps/kfileplaces/* && rm ~/.local/share/user* 3. Rebooted 4. Opened and closed Dolphin three times while verifying the correct entries in Places. I have tried and used without issue other KDE launchers - Application launcher menu and Lancelot. This issue occurs in more than 10 installations that I have and the rememdy works on all them.

Could you try with dolphin-15.04.3 from kde overlay? Though the problem is with homerun, that latest version of dolphin should ignore kfileplaces.
So I would need to add the KDE overlay, unmask Dolphin then install?
Here are the steps I took to add dolphin-15.04.3: 1. Add KDE overlay sudo layman --fetch --add kde 2. Create /etc/portage/package.unmask <kde-apps/dolphin-15.04.50 3. Add to package.accept_keywords (for amd64) kde-apps/dolphin ~amd64 4. Update and install sudo emerge -auvDN @world 5. Enable / install homerun sudo emerge -av homerun 6. Reboot 7. Test Dolphin Open and close Dolphin 3x and make sure the repeating entries doesn't occur. That solves the repeating Places entries but there is a new quirk. You can't move entries around (for example, move Root entry from 3rd position to 2nd postion). If you do, Places, Recently Accessed and Search For sections are removed. The Devices section is the only one left. On one out of the three computer I tested, I can close Dolphin and re-open and the issue is gone but on the other two the issue remains. Do additional support files/programs need to installed?
Maybe. I can't reproduce that last issue of yours.
If I remove the homerun widget, the new quirk goes away. Meaning I have added the newer version of Dolphin and still get an abnormal condition when using homerun.
Would a list of other installed applications help?
If homerun is the source of trouble, there is little hope this will be fixed - latest commit in upstream repository is older than 1 year.
Maybe this patch could solve your drag and drop problem? https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=homerun.git&a=commit&h=c3509e2706cd6f36ca7a23659d2c14ec7aea74b3
Actually I just got a KDE4 homerun fix on 12/5/15 and I am testing it now. So far it is working. If the test comes out ok, I will report back.
The following is the current patch I'm testing: diff --git a/components/sourceregistry.cpp b/components/sourceregistry.cpp index d2df116..e63cd50 100644 --- a/components/sourceregistry.cpp +++ b/components/sourceregistry.cpp @@ -268,7 +268,9 @@ SourceRegistry::SourceRegistry(QObject *parent) d->m_availableSourcesModel = new AvailableSourcesModel(d->m_sourceInfos, this); d->m_favoriteModels.insert("app", new FavoriteAppsModel(this)); +#if 0 d->m_favoriteModels.insert("place", new FavoritePlacesModel(this)); +#endif d->registerSource("InstalledApps", new InstalledAppsSource(this), i18n("Installed Applications"),
Could you please with the current stable version =kde-apps/dolphin-15.12.3?
