[gentoo-user] [kde Q] Gack too man shares showing up on desktop

[reader]

What do I need to turn off in kde-3.5 so that mounted or umounted
devices never show up on my desktop window?

After having been mounting and umounting stuff via cifs and connecting
external drives by usb I have a full dozen Icons on my desktop that
offer no delete item on right click menu.

How do I get rid of them and keep them from coming back.

I've cleared all boxes at kcontrol/Desktop/Behavior/Device icons
 (and file icons)

These icons don't show up under ~/Desktop

Maybe under KDE Components > Service Manager > Startup Services, 
switching off KDED Media Manager?  And relogin to KDE.

Also the top one, "Show device icons", after which the whole list 
greys out?

Egad, don't know why I couldn't see that one until you pointed it out.
That cleared the slate... thanks.
