You wanted to change the icons in an earlier post. To change the icon you can 
either install a complete new set of icons...
Or you can find the file for the current icon, back it up and substitute your 
new one for it. Yout current icon depends on your current theme and the 
current size of the icons in the panel. 

Through experimenting I found that I currently use this icon:
<path to KDE>/share/icons/crystalsvg/32x32/filesystems/desktop.png
when I move the mouse over the current icon on the desktop it animates 
slightly by showing a larger icon, that icon is stored here:
<path to KDE>/share/icons/crystalsvg/48x48/filesystems/desktop.png

I'm using the crystalsvg theme, with 32x32 pixel icons then...
Yours may differ if you use a different theme or different sized panel, just 
figure out where yours are looking in the subdirectories of <KDE>/share/icons 
with konqueror.

I use <path to KDE> because I'm not running mandrake at the moment (using LFS) 
and so I'm not certain of the whole path.

Once you know the path to your desktop.png icon(s), then as root rename them 
desktop.png.old. Get new icons matching the sizes of those you are replacing. 
Move your new icons into the correct folders and rename them as desktop.png. 
KDE will use them when it restarts.

If you want to do the K icons, mine is here:
<path to KDE>/share/icons/crystalsvg/32x32/apps/kmenu.png
I think the go.png icon in the same subdirectory is used with some themes.

Now my show desktop looks like favorites, until I move the mouse over it and 
it turns into an ftp icon. I'm too lazy to change it back.
