The desktop should not have the control panel icon by default.
Havoc, we don't have a better replacement for control panel in KDE yet. We have got many good feedbacks from Linux Magazin in Germany in the last time that we have it on desktop. I suggest that we should let it for Milan.
Good point, I forgot about that. Bero was working on a Start Here ioslave I guess. Can you name the icon after the menu subfolder it displays? For example if it displays /var/lib/menu/kde/System, name it System Tools. Also use the icon for the subfolder it displays.
is the vfolder IOSlave finished yet? control-panel is going away if so.
