>at some TBD point in the future we will be removing the "scatter icons from a >given specially blessed folder on the desktop" misfeature entirely.

As long as I know how to interact with the icons that appear on the desktop, I don't care. :)  In other words, I want to know whether it is linked, a copied, or a moved.  In KDE 3 the standard was to prompt (copy / move /link?), so there should be some way to show "it is a link".
   One idea is to have some sexy inward pointing arrow on the "links".  An arrow that looks fast standing still. This would not appear on the actual folders, but at the same time wouldn't be ugly appearing on all/most plasma era desktop icons.  :)
