how to edit desktop items in KDE from source?

hello forum
i try to edit desktop items in linux fedora. for example edit "Trash" name to "Recycle Bin".
help me please

On KDE 4.3, you right click the icon, click properties, on the general tab edit the field beside the icon. That's it.

You installed KDE in Fedora?? (Isn't Gnome the default?)

What do you mean by "from source".

I don't know what kind of help you are asking for.

Nor do I understand your problem, but if you're trying to make global changes in the KDE desktop files, those files may be found in /usr/share/. On this laptop I have KDE, GNOME and XFCE installed, and the system desktop files are here:

Code:

$ locate -r ^/usr/share/.*desktop$ | grep -o '/usr/share/[^/]*/' | uniq

/usr/share/Thunar/
