You can add icons to the desktop. There is an option there for also
adding icons to the panel. I don't know if that works because I
haven't tried it, but I have added many icons to the desktop.<br><br>
It appears that you have to have the so-called "Kickoff Menu
Style" selected. You do that by right clicking on the little
"f" symbol and checking to see if "Switch to Kickoff Menu
Style" or "Switch to Classic Menu Style" appears in the
popup list. If it says "Switch to Classic Menu Style"
then do nothing; you are already in the Kickoff Menu Style.
Otherwise, if it says "Switch to Kickoff Menu Style", click
that.<br><br>
Then, find the program whose icon you want to put on your desktop, and
right-click it. You'll get a list that includes "Add to
Favorites", "Add to Desktop", and "Add to
Panel". The only one I've tried is "Add to Desktop"
and that works.<br><br>
Note that none of that works in the Classic Menu Style; right clicking on
something just brings up that program, just as if you had left-clicked on
it.<br><br>
There is one thing I really miss in KDE4... the ability to rearrange
icons on the desktop by right clicking on the desktop and selecting some
kind of "arrange icons" capability. I
*_<b><i>REALLY</i></b>_* miss that. I cannot understand why they
removed it.<br><br>
