KDE - Hide desktop icons?

[KenLin]

I'm running suse 9 (oops, I guess it's SuSE 9). Using KDE, it puts some default icons on the desktop that I don't need (Local Network, Printers, Etc) If I try to delete them, I need root priv to do so, but the next time I install a KDE package, suseconfig puts the icons back!

Is there a way to just hide them?

Actually, I think it's SUSE now (it used to be SuSE)...

But, to get rid of the KDE desktop icons, you can use the KDE Control Center. The option is under Desktop > Behavior. There is a check box for "Enable icons on desktop". Uncheck that. :)

Jeez. Why not put it undr 'Icons' ? Oh, well.

Thanks!
