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.  Everything is faster.
