Yes, I know. And when I get tired and need things simplified, there's
always *box (most often fluxbox). I often don't know why I keep dropping
back to KDE - I think I like the kicker. I *know* that I use those icons
on the desktop once in a blue moon, and really should just turn off
"Background Icons". That would be another solution to my dilemma.

I even dabble in FVWM from time to time, and have a carefully saved FVWM
configuration someplace safe (safe == well hidden). Find and locate are my
friends, though.

Bottom line, however, was that finding that setting was a PITA, and I'm
glad I did it, and documented it. I also bugged it as a wishlist item with
the KDE team.
