KDE4 desktop doesn't support icons anymore. The feature was removed.
Instead, there is a "folder view" plasmoid that you can put anywhere on the
desktop, and shows the contents of an arbitrary folder.
If that folder happens to be ~/Desktop, and the plasmoid is resized to cover
the entire screen, you get quite close to the previous behavior. But who
would want *that*? Now you have way more flexibility!
