OK, so right-click on the desktop background and choose "Configure Desktop..."
Choose "behaviour" in the list of items on the left, and you should see a section entitled "Devices." Uncheck all the things you don't want to see on your desktop, and Robert should be your mother's brother.
Oh, even better: further up in the same options screen, there is an option "Enable icons on desktop." If you want no icons at all, easier to just uncheck this.
I don't know about which version of Lindows OS (I use Mandrake y'see), but the relevant question should be: which version of KDE? I use KDE 3.1 (it says so on the left hand side of the kicker menu).
