I did not think they did, but for the life of me i never remember seeing hidden files either.... or did tracker keep tabs on icons locations for the user? I should disclame that icon location is useless on a server, and i agree with that completely. Its just my focus is on Linux as a desktop OS, so I tend to gravitate towards ideas that make it more usable to the lower common denominator of computer users...
