There are two other users who do not get this message.

This has to be where it broke. I am the one that broke this in my own
home directory: because the other two users do not have this problem.
(did not restore their old desktop settings)

After asking on the list Anders stated that I needed kdebase3-extra.
I installed that and it worked because I did not get the message anymore
but it filled my desktop with icons of all of my drives. The other two
users are perfectly normal.

What is puzzling is that their desktops worked as expected before the
kdebase3-extra was installed, and now after installation of the
kdebase3-extra their desktops remain normal. Only mine acts this way.
Has to be something to do with the original My Computer being removed
from my desktop, some kind of broken link or something.

What do you all think guys ??
