If you drag an application from the menu, or a file from Dolphin, to the desktop, or right click an app in the menu and choose Add To Desktop, an Icon widget is created directly on the desktop containment, no FolderView needed. KDE 4.0 veterans will recall this was the only way to have icons on the desktop, and FolderView was introduced later so that we had all the sorting, multiple selection, layout options that were familiar from kdesktop.
