Dear list
my question is simple: I use KDE with fedora 9 and I want to enable
the icons on the desktop. Now, I have only the backgroup pic.
          

So do lots of us.  Stay tuned for KDE4.2 in January.  Hopefully it will
implement this.

      

Add widget -> Folder view.
(Can be configured to view a certain directory with .desktop shortcuts)
        

That is such a lame work around.  You need to explain that it doesn't
display icons on the desktop as they were in KDE3.5.x.   I think this is
what the OP is asking for.
      

That's not a workaround, that is _the_ way to display icons on files
on a desktop.

in KDE 3.5, you can only have ~/Desktop , in KDE 4.x, you can have any
folder, esp. consider kioslaves. How is this a regression?

You do know that he's a troll, and as such, he'll piggy-back on any
thread that looks like a good starting point for

Why on Earth are you playing his game?
