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 yet-another-useless-spam-war on why-he-doesn't-like-KDE-4 and why-Fedora-doesn't-suite-his-needs and/or why-he-rather-switch-to-Ubuntu-but-but-rather-not-as-he-has-nothing-better-to-do, that will fill my junk-mail-box with 200 useless emails.
... But what I don't understand is: Why on Earth are you playing his game?

From what I understand is that you are trying to add icons to your desktop? If so then it is very easy but if I am mistaken in your question then please let me know.

It is simple - go to the K (=kickoff menu) in the bottom left of the desktop.
Navigate to the application you are interested in, and then right click. You will get options to add to the Desktop or to the Panel as you wish.

What's the problem? Right click any menu item and select 'Add to Desktop'; and no, you don't have to add them to a folder view...am I missing something?

Are you talking about KDE 4 or KDE 3.5.x? AFAIR KDE 4 menu items can only be added to favorites.

No you can add them to desktop. But you need to unlock widgets.

I'm talking about KDE 4.1.2 but I think it also applied to 4.1.1 I can add menu items anywhere I want, and have done so on multiple machines - to the panel, the desktop, the favorites list, or to one of the folder views
