Normal in Share Folder in Leopard?...Please confirm

Just upgraded to Leopard and everything went just fine.
Only minor behaviour, which I don't know if it's normal or not, is that whenever I connect to my second computer on the network, the icon for the this second computer won't show on the desktop.

I can connect with no problem and the second computer does show up but only when I open a finder window. It's there on the sidebar and everything else seems to be fine.

Just wondering if this was normal, or what.

TIA

PD - Just one more thing. I did the upgrade with the new $9.95 Leopard upgrade DVD that Apple sent me (buy a computer after Oct. 1 and upgrade for only....). When upgrading it never asked me if I wanted to Archive and Install or any other option...it just went through the entire proceedure and only asked me what volume to update. I thought this DVD sent by apple would be a normal retail version, but it seems that it's machine specific.

 

Thanks Icefusion. That does the trick...sould've look there in the first place
