This behaviour (no right click, no widget borders) is caused by the configured plasma desktop plugin not loading. We did not port this for the initial 4.2.0 packages, but it is now present. Perhaps you still have the older ones installed?

Does ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-appletsrc contain plugin=plaindesktop?

Is
/usr/lib*/kde4/plasma_containment_plaindesktop.so
present?
