Desktop and KDE 4.3


Has anyone noticed that KDE 4.3.2 or 4.3.3 on current doesn't have a "Desktop" anymore? For example, I can copy an application from the KDE menu when I do a right click on it and select "Add to Desktop". An icon shows up on the Desktop, but when I go to the terminal, there is no Desktop directory. So...where are these icons being stored? I looked through the Changelog, but did not notice anything. Am I missing something here?

Thanks ahead of time!

Works just fine here, have you got the desktop settings set to desktop or folder?

I think you have to right click on the desktop choose Desktop Settings and change Type to Folder View.
