Lost Trashcan

It seems I am like other people with respect to icons on the Desktop. One day I love them, the next they are a nuisance on my beautiful wallpaper.

I use Gnome and today I wanted my icons back. Do not panic, says the ol'book. Someone else already figured it out.

Neat, ain't it?

Now, if KDE and Gnome could just agree on how to represent these pesky icons so I did not have to delete/add/recycle them every time I decide KDE Gnome is the best thing in the world.
