David, thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I got it fixed. All
that was needed was:
.Open the "system" panel and select "File Manager (super user mode)
.log in as root and then go to /home/(user directory)/Desktop
.Right click on each one of the icons and select "properties",
"permissions"
.The following rights need to be given to user, group and others:
User = show + write + change into
Group = Show + change into
Others = Show + change into
.Make sure the owner and group are the same for each icon.
Thanks again,
Joe

I had this problem once. What is happening is that the file the records
where the icons are is not writable by you. I can't remember it's name,
but it's somewhere under ~/.kde/share. You should browse around for a
file without write permission. It's something to do with the desktop or
kfm.
