[plug] KDE Icon undeleteable

[John Knight]

Assuming that Mandrake don't change KDE's file hierarchy.....
>From your home directory in a terminal, cd into the dir called 'Desktop'. 
Then delete
the file, 'Zip Disk'. That's the quick solution that might not work, as 
Mandrake probably have some horrible script that puts it back next time you 
login, but it's worth a go. ;)

"...it was brilliant, there was three up against a thousand, and boy, did we 
give those three heaps!"
