apparently , not a quirk , but a new way of looking at the desktop.
i was able to point a 'folder view' instance at one of  the 'hidden'
directories, & was able to add items to it ( the view ) from the
other hidden items using konq, & they became visible, movable
via dnd , trashable, etc.

in the interest of abstracting out the storage function, i will consider
where to keep such files in the future.
