Desktop widget on KDE 4.1

[Art Alexion]

doesn't seem to be able to refresh.

New files aren't reflected, and deleted files remain.  None of the tool-tip 
free buttons on the right seem to force a refresh.

Is it me, or are others having this problem?  Am I doing something wrong?  Can 
a refresh be forced?

As it now stands for me, the desktop is just another folder in ~/ that I need 
to use Konqueror to access.
