What you do is copy the icons to another directory off your desktop. Then kill susewatcher which will disappear some icons. You then copy these icons back into your ~/Desktop directory. Then you will have control over them with out susewatcher doing anything. Also if you don't really want to use susewatcher then remove this file.
susewatcher.desktop
The file is located here. "/opt/kde3/share/apps/kdesktop/" At least I think it was there. You can look around for it. Just move that file so it never starts again.

Ben, Don't know if you removed the SuSEwatcher or not altogether, but for me once quiting it, redoing the icons and restarting KDE took care of my problems with icons. SuSEwatcher is still running and I have not had any further problems with icons. Just seemed to be that you had to stop it that one time and all went normal after that.
