Not dumb.  It's not the same behaviour as in previous versions.  The Desktop 
used to be a special case.  In KDE4 it can be a folder, and using folderview  
you can make it look and behave almost exactly as the old Desktop did, but it 
is still just a folder, not a special case.  This is particularly confusing 
if you have icons left from a previous desktop, either because you upgraded 
or because you ran 3.5 in the same distro, as in the case of Mandriva users.

It's one of many things that are no big deal once you know about it, but it 
confuses at first.  And before the flames start, I'm not going to argue about 
why it should be so.  As I said, you can make it behave like the old Desktop.
