Annoying duplicate KDE desktop icons

[Alex Baer]

Yes, of course, that would solve it for Xfce. But then the file is hidden for 
KDE, as well, right? And in KDE, clicking on it opens the file manager 
(Dolphin) for $HOME. If the file was hidden, I could not click on it on my 
desktop.... ;)

That's why I am looking for some other approach, that may or may not exist. In 
fact, I thought, that .desktop and .directory files would be handled according 
to some standard (I don't recall, which one --- Free Desktop, may be...)  by 
KDE and Xfce, alike.

Unfortunately, it seems to turn out, that this is not really the case.

Thanks, anyway!
