Oops, I think I posted my reply to the author only. Do me a favor and post my reply to the whole group if you could.
In summary, to access the "drawers" in Preferences>Catalog>User and thereby change the folder depth at which Quicksilver searches specific folders (Especially Desktop, which has a default depth of only 1), you have to click on the small "i" button in the circle at the bottom right of the Catalog preferences window. Once the drawer opens, you must first select "Attributes" and "Create a copy", which opens the "Custom" tab (the default settings can't be altered). I hope this is helpful, and Mitch Palooza if you could please post my full description (accidentally sent only to you) to the full discussion for others to see.
