Might not work in the future ;( Seems Mdk Linux is bound and
determined to make sure icons clutter up my desktop. After an install,
I usually delete 'em all. Never could see any point for havin 'em
since everythings available from the menu.
So FWIW, if you're like minded, to only way I've found to get rid of
the damn Trashcan is to move it with Control Center | Look'n Feel |
Desktop | Paths (tab), and change the location to my /home dir rather
than ../Desktop/... 9.0 introduces a "Removable Media" icon. What
worked for your Zip icon will work for that one too ;)

Try runnin 'update-menus -n' as root from a terminal. Just a guess,
I haven't seen this behavior. ....and I use the 'slick' icons package
rather than KDE's. Caution, I don't remember when the -n option came
about, and it's undocumented, might not work for you. If so, just use
'update-menus', but do it as root, not user.
