I'm not sure if (and how) you can lockdown drag-and-drop to the desktop, but 
if the way to trigger it is called 'konqueror' then you have a worse problem 
at hand: a user can also just go to ~/Desktop in Konq and create/copy icons 
there.

Be sure to add URL restrictions for those actions to rule that out. With some 
luck that also solves the kdesktop case, though I somewhat doubt that code 
goes through the KIO restrictions code. Waldo?
