Why is this? This is true since KDE 2.0 . BTW, it works o.k. with Linux so this is maybe some subtile difference in the permission routines. But a workaround is easy: Create an empty icon (i.e. don't do any changes as they wouldn't be saved), ignore all error messages (i.e. hit "OK" all the time). The icon will nevertheless appear on your Desktop. Right-click, enter properties and you will see that you are the owner (as opposed to root), but have only read permissions. So change this to read and write permission. That again will cause an error message, but is done correct. Now enter the properties again and change the executable, name, icon,... to whatever you want. I really should check, if this is already officially announced to the KDE bug list.
