+<para
+>Uncheck this option if you do not want to have icons on the desktop. Without icons the desktop may be somewhat faster, but you will no longer be able to drag files to the desktop.</para>
+<para
+>This will not remove any files already stored on the desktop, they will instead be hidden.</para>
+
+<para
+>If this is enabled, several further options become available:</para>

+<term

+<term
+><guilabel
+>Show hidden files</guilabel
+></term>
+<listitem
+><para
+>If this option is enabled, then all hidden files will appear on the desktop. Generally this only clutters your desktop area, but if you are often working with hidden files or folders, this can be useful.</para>
+<warning
+><para
+>Be very careful when deleting or modifying hidden files. Many of these files are configuration files and are essential for the correct operation of your computer.</para

+<term

+>, or &kworldclock;</para>
+</listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+</variablelist>
+
+<para
+>Below these options you can see a list titled <guilabel
+>Show Icon Previews For</guilabel
+>. The &kde; desktop has a preview feature for many file types, including <acronym
+>HTML</acronym
+> files, images, &PostScript; and <acronym
+>PDF</acronym
+>, sound, web archives (if you have the appropriate &konqueror; plugin installed) and text files.</para>
+
+<para
+>if you enable previews for one of these, files of that particular file type will not be represented by standard icons on the desktop, but will instead be shown as miniature previews. On slow computers, the previews can take some time to show up, so you might not want to enable this feature.</para>
+
+<para
+>Finally there is <guilabel
+>Display device icons:</guilabel
+>.</para>
+
+<para
+>On some operating systems (&Linux; and FreeBSD, so far) &kde; can dynamically display icons for each <firstterm
+>mountable</firstterm
+> device you have available. This could be &CD-ROM; drives, floppy disk drives, or network shares.</para>
+
+<para
+>If you enable this, you can choose what kind, if any, of these devices you would like quick access icons to be displayed for.</para>

+<term
+><guilabel
+>Show tooltips</guilabel
+></term>
+<listitem>
+<para
+>Check this option if you would like to see tooltips for icons on the desktop as you hover the mouse over them. These tooltips display information about the file represented by the icon. Depending on the type of file, the information can range from simple file size and creation dates for unfamiliar file types, to complete meta information such as the content of tags for music files.</para>

+
+<para
+>The default is <guilabel
+>None</guilabel
+>. If you select <guilabel
+>Desktop menu bar</guilabel
+> one static menu is shown at the top of the screen, displaying the desktop menu. Finally there is <guilabel
+>Current application's menu bar (Mac OS-style)</guilabel
+>. If this option is selected, applications won't have their menu bar attached to their own window anymore. Instead, there is one menu bar at the top of the screen which shows the menus of the currently active application. You might recognise this behaviour from &MacOS;. </para>
