Searching 'desktop icons' in kde-core-devel at lists.kde.org found this
2 week old message:

 http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&m=99985500818022&w=2

So if the problem still occurs in the new 2.2.1 release then it's bug.
For < 2.2.1 it's now a documented feature ;)

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
