Question about desktop icons

Hi, My question is what are the settings that need to be changed to get rid of the icon menu that appears around desktop icons when your cursor is over the icon? The feature I'm refering to comes up around the icon and has a button to resize the icon a button to rotate the icon a button to close the icon and one to give the prperties. I have several different distro that use kde4.2 or 4.3 and all have this disabled by default. At this point the only distro I have with this annoyance on the desktop is Arch. I tried to google this question but without knowing the proper term for this "feature" I was unable to find an answer. I hope I have descibed it well enough here that someone can tell me how to disable this great annoyance.
