Or rather, I can rename them, but then I can't access them.

If I create a new file on my F23 KDE desktop, I have no trouble accessing it. But if I rename it (right-click, Rename) then try clicking on it again after, I get an error dialog: "Unable to run the command specified. The file or folder /home/alan/Desktop///<oldname> does not exist." (<oldname> is the name the file was before I renamed.)

This is a real bother in the case of folders, because I rename them often. But then I can't access them. Everything seems to work from within the File Manager, but fails when dealing with Desktop icons.
