Yes, it's fully up to date.

What I tried now is totally removed ~/.kde4/share/apps/kfileplaces/ and removed also ~/.local/share/user-places* files.
BUT after logout and back in there was now functional plasma-desktop there!?! No kicker, no taskbar/systemtray icons, no plasma widgets, no desktop background picture...
Also 'killall plasma-desktop && plasma-desktop &' didn't bring back a working desktop in this stage :(

I added then a new user in a console and logged me in with this new user and voila, there I have a perfectly working kde/dolphin (incl. places entries working here).
So I copied the working ~/.local/share/user-places.xbel file from this new user to my old user (chowned to old user, home folder name to old user) and logged in again with the old user. Now I had a working desktop again!

The situation now is... I CAN add a new place in dolphin (this new entry still gets deleted automatically after 1 sec) BUT after this addition of a new places entry plasma-desktop crashes again :(!

(but 'killall plasma-desktop && plasma-desktop &' and starting dolphin again now shows this newly added places entry <- this is new behavior)

I uploaded again a video showing my total desktop when doing above mentioned new places entry so you can see the plasma-desktop crash too.
youtube link to that video -> http://youtu.be/IGbEOMQTn6A (rendering could take a few nire minutes/hours from now)

Really strange :(
