Right-click on your desktop, choose "Desktop Settings", click on the "Activity" tab, and choose "Folder View" from the drop-down box.

You can now right-click on your desktop and choose "Folder View Settings" to either change the type of activity again (you can install other activities besides "Desktop" and "Folder View" via your package manager) or to configure your current activity (e.g. to enable or disable file previews, change icon sizes, etc).

Hi list,

Another problem after upgrading to KDE 4.5

All my icons on my desktop are gone.

They are stored in my ~/Desktop.  However after upgrading to KDE 4.5 no icons
on my desktop.

I tried to add an application to my desktop, and it showed - but the file was
not  in my ~/Desktop.  I don't know where it is.  I think that if I put my
original icons and desktop files into the new directory, it should show again.

Would anyone please tell me how to get it work?

Thanks,
Franklin
