Wow, what a marvellous read. I just started using KDE, so such a detailed explanation is really HIGHLY appreceated. Thanks for taking the time to write all this down! Just one thing:
In the end, its your choice whether to use an entire folder view activity, many folder view applets, or do like I have done and dispense with desktop icons altogether. Who needs desktop icons when I have quick launch buttons on my panel and super-fast file search and application launching from krunner?
Actually this possibility to live without Icons is the reason I now most likely will stay with KDE. I never used Windows, was using a well-configured fvwm for now 14 years and every time I looked at KDE (or GNOME, for that matter) it gave me the creeps as I felt more caged in than given ease of use. KDE4 (I'm using 4.4 from Factory) really seems to be a great shot - you just need time to understand the idea - and the power it gives you.
