I just said this but then I realised there's not even that one way - let's not
forget, this:

.... happened in a KDE session (I'm ALWAYS in a  KDE session, it's the best,
why would I not be? :) )

So it'll *always* do it if KDE isn't running, and *sometimes even when it is*.
The point is there's a theoretically insanely high number of ways to trigger
this and it doesn't matter what they are if you just, to quote the second
sentence of my first post:

> To fix this will require two parts, firstly to only track items directly ON 
> the desktop, and NOT their contents,

Which Harald has now done, yay!

> and secondly, to REMOVE items that are no longer present on the desktop.

Which is why I said it was important to get this second part done, to be, as
Harald put it, "comprehensive" in the solution.
