I spent some more time with a folderview. I must be stupid in the head, 
because no amount of poking or prodding would make it act like the old 
KDesktop. I tried to resize it so it fit the screen, and then it started to 
resemble the old way. But it was too difficult to size it correctly, and I 
could find no way to get rid of the translucent black background. I suppose 
it I could write an "invisible" plasma theme, but that just doesn't feel like 
the "right solution. Is there a "use as containment" configuration item I 
should have used? I looked and looked but could not find one.

Now before you get all pissy on me again, I am not criticizing you as a 
person. I do see that the new way of doing things can be an improvement over 
what someone else has called the "80ies" GUI. But sarcastic replies do 
nothing to sell the concept to me.
