Good evening, Arthur.

Well... uhhh... not sure how to answer that...  there are little 
graphic things on my desktop, that I deposited there by right 
clicking on a menu item and clicking where it says "Add to 
desktop".  Clicking those little graphics brings up things like 
firefox or a terminal window, or a KDevelop instance, etc., depending 
on what I put there.  They sure look like icons to me, or what I 
think of when someone mentions the word "icon".

What I'd like to be able to do is arrange those little graphics in 
alphabetical (or some other kind of) order.  With F8 I could just 
right click anywhere on the desktop and click on Icons->Sort Icons 
and it would be done.

Can't do that with F9, although someone else told me I could do that 
within a panel.

(Not quite sure exactly what a panel is or how to use them, yet.)
