Scroll down the page til you come to:	
Help/Make Plasma Panel items movable in KDE 4.1
which is also a link that may contain the answer if
there is one.
I googled for"Can't move kde 4.1 window icons position
in ubuntu" and there were many hits.  Yeah, you and
Derec taught me that.
Let us know if you find the answer.  HTH.
