Then this is your first problem. You aren't supposed to put icons directly
on the Plasma desktop, only inside the Desktop folder shown by the folder
view (unless you set your entire desktop to be a folder view, as KDE 4.2
now allows). Putting icons directly on the Plasma desktop is legacy
functionality kept only for backwards compatibility with KDE 4.0 (so you
don't lose icons configured in 4.0.x).
