None of my NFS mounts show up on the desktop, though I don't use KDE.
How are you mounting yours?

I, either use automount, where if I try access a remote export via going
into /net/servername/exportname it's automatically mounted there.

Or I have an fstab entry *like* the following, and it's part of the /mnt
tree:

server:/var/cache/yum  /mnt/server/yum  nfs noauto,intr,udp,noexec,nodev

(This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's
 important to the thread.)

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
