I had to play a bit with the desktop settings (in a VM to avoid changes
to my current setup) and finally I found it: It seems to work only if
you have a folder widget set to show the contents of the specified
folder "/home/$USER/Desktop". But I don't have that on my desktop and
the live-dvd image of Kubuntu 14.04 doesn't have it either by default.
