Ok, but this will create a widget encapsulating the application's 
shortcut, as it has been possible to do since KDE 4.0. I understood he 
wanted something like a 3.5.x desktop, where files in a folder would 
appear as icons on the desktop. After all, this is the new behavior 
added in KDE 4.2, the one you describe is available since 4.0.
