Edgar, this is a development list, and not the place for such questions.  I'll 
answer here, but please subscribe to the kde-users list, at 
https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-linux where we can give you more 
help.

First, the 'transparent container' sounds like a folder-view.  When you hover 
over it you should see a 'handle' appear, with icons.  If this doesn't happen 
your widgets may be locked, and you may need to right-click on the desktop to 
unlock the widgets.  The spanner/wrench tool lets you configure the folderview 
to show any directory where quick access is useful - in my case I use it for 
remote directories.  The top icon can be dragged to re-size the folderview.  
If you have no use at all for this you can delete it by hitting the X at the 
bottom of the 'handle'.

UserBase has lots of information to help you settle in to the new desktop.  I 
recommend that you start at http://userbase.kde.org/Configure_your_desktop
