... or "how to show my stupidity has no limits". Ok, forget the above.
That flag just changes a few single-shot timers and show/not show splash screen.

I think this bug is rather due to :
cvs diff -r1.115 -r1.116 desktop.cc
KDesktop::KDesktop( const QString& _url, bool x_root_hack, bool auto_start ) :
-    KonqIconViewWidget( 0L, "desktop", x_root_hack ? WStyle_Customize | WStyle_NoBorder : 0 ),
+    KonqIconViewWidget( 0L, "desktop", WStyle_Customize | WStyle_NoBorder ),

This apparently fixes the "I can move and resize the desktop", but 
perhaps it prevents using the desktop as a normal widget too, for
moving icons around and dropping files - oh, this is all DnD related.
Can you try adding a "setAcceptDrops(true)" in that constructor ?
I'll try that as soon as kdebase is recompiled.
