Good idea.

Hmm, that would be inconsistent with Konqueror, and it makes keyboard usage of
the desktop quite awkward, doesn't it? You'd then need to press Space before being
able to press Return, to activate something. (I mean if the first icon that gets the
focus when you click on the desktop, is the one you want to launch).
Once you start navigating you get a selected icon, of course. But having to do
"right + left" to go back to select the first icon, or "Space", is inconvenient 
(I always hated MS Explorer for that behavior...).
