I still think that it is important that the desktop should be accessible 
within Konqueror and other Kde applications. For example I am sure that the 
desktop is the default location for Firefox and not the home folder itself, 
which isn't good practise anyway. 

However making the desktop available ever as a link on the navigational bar, 
when your in the home folder would be useful but not visible in the home 
folder view. Through personal experience some desktops I have seen, a lot of 
work is kept on the desktop, at least on Windows Based machines.
