I think I know what's happening (although it's just a theory).
When you backup files in .xtdesktop you are adding all the files which are in there at the time.
The key word here, however, is 'adding'. You said you removed icons from the directory, but what you are overlooking is that these icons are automatically installed into ramdisk when the system is started up. Your backup cannot remove files...it can only overwrite or add to them.
If you want to remove things from the system you can do that from /opt/bootlocal.sh
For example, if you want to remove the Dillo icon you can do something like this in bootlocal:
rm -f /home/dsl/.xtdesktop/dillo.{lnk,gif}
or
rm -f /home/dsl/.xtdesktop/dillo.*
or
rm -f /home/dsl/.xtdesktop/dillo.lnk
rm -f /home/dsl/.xtdesktop/dillo.gif
You'd think it would be easier just to remove the whole directory and let the backup put in fresh ones, but that won't happen. bootlocal.sh isn't run until after your backups are restored (or so i assume, since bootlocal can be included in filetool.lst)
