where do desktop updates come from?

[D. Michael McIntyre]

Which KDE component is supposed to track ~/Desktop and change it to reflect 
the state of the filesystem?  My various removeable things are showing up and 
disappearing on cue, but I put several files in ~/Desktop, and they're not on 
the desktop.  I'm thinking some kio_something needs restarting perhaps.  Or I 
could just kill and restart kdesktop, but I'd rather learn something than 
take a hammer to it if there's an opportunity to learn here.

Any ideas?
