2. How do I get my desktop back? Somehow I clicked something and the desktop folder just disappeared.......How can I have a KDE3 style desktop? On the WHOLE desktop without some stupid config thing on the side.
In the upper right-hand corner is the Plasma icon. Click on it an select Desktop Settings (or possibly Plain Desktop Settings).
There is no Plasma Icon (cashew) if he previously selected Plain Desktop. In that case, he can simply right-click the desktop to select settings. Also: Each desktop can have its own Desktop type. So you can have folder view (the hopeless jumble of icons) on one desktop without making a mess of all desktops. You can have Default view (which allows widgets) on some desktops and plain desktops on others. Personally, I've started to run a Clean desktop. No icons. I make heavy use of Favorites in the KDE Menu (old style, not the slow new style). I've come to appreciate the lack of desktop clutter.
