That only gets used if you have a folder view, IIANM.
i'm sorry, perhaps i got this wrong. i was under the impression that you had icons directly on your desktop. not widgets, small plasma applications, but icons that start individual applications, i.e., your whole desktop was one single folder view. if that wasn't the case, i misunderstood something down the road.
I don't use folder view, all I use is desktop mode. And call them what you will to me they are still icons that are copied to the desktop from the Kmenu (little green gecko).
if you can copy icons directly to the desktop, that means your desktop is in folder view mode, and uses a directory like ~/Desktop to store those icons, as .desktop files.
but i'm afraid we're talking in circles here; i'll leave this to w. stephenon, who's seen your config. files, and should know exactly what is what on your desktop.
I do, and he doesn't use folder view mode AND does (did?) have icons on his desktop. If you drag an application from the menu, or a file from Dolphin, to the desktop, or right click an app in the menu and choose Add To Desktop, an Icon widget is created directly on the desktop containment, no FolderView needed. KDE 4.0 veterans will recall this was the only way to have icons on the desktop, and FolderView was introduced later so that we had all the sorting, multiple selection, layout options that were familiar from kdesktop.
