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 :(

Bug description:
  # Impact
  KDE software loses 'places' bookmarks when using KDE frameworks 5 and KDELibs4 software at the same time. In particular the default file manager Dolphin will have one of its by-default-visible features rendered useless by this and actively lose data the user created.

  ## Affects
  - kde4libs: which has a sync code that attempts to sync the XDG places file with the legacy KDE file.
  - kio (kf5): as it has the same syncing code as kde4libs.
  - kde-baseapps (specifically dolphin): as it is using the legacy KDE file while the rest of a plasma5 desktop would use the XDG places file.
  - kdenlive: has hardcoded file lookup for the old file to automatically inject its projects folder into the places list (not terribly important feature and actually has provisioning for the file not being found).

  # Test Case
  1. Open Dolphin.
  2. Select the folder you want in the Places shortcut on the left panel.
  3. Drag and Drop the folder on the left panel in the "Places" section.
  4. Restart the system.

  ## Kdenlive
  Kdenlive has a bit of a different use case it injects itself into the list of places
  - create new user
  - start kdenlive and go through wizard
  - file -> open
  - places sidebar should contain an entry for kdenlive projects.

  # Regression Potential
  Somewhat potentially high unfortunately. The way this had to be resolved was by removing a piece of compatibility tech from kdelibs(4) that would attempt to sync the XDG places bookmarks with the kdelibs<=4 preferred kde-specific places file and instead always use the XDG file. This effectively means that the old places file will not get updated anymore. Applications that had its path hardcoded would use the wrong file and no longer show the same places list as the rest of the system. It is hard to assess whether we have any such application in the archive, but it is a risk worth taking considering we currently lose user data in one of the most obvious places.

  ---- original report ----

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Open Dolphin.
  2. Select the folder you want in the Places shortcut on the left panel.
  3. Drag and Drop the folder on the left panel in the "Places" section.
  4. Restart the system.

  What Happens:
  Dolphin is set back to default places.

  What is expected:
  Dolphin displays the customize places shortcuts.

  I tried askubuntu, but they deleted my question as off-topic because
  Kubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet with Plasma 5 haven't been released.

  Aditional info is that this is not an upgrade, but a fresh install.
