After getting my 4.0.99 install working again my login took me to a
screen that had my old desktop in what I presume was a folder view.  Down
the right-hand edge of the folder were some icons.  The top two looked
like folders and didn't appear to do anything.  Then there was a spanner
which I left for now, and finally an icon that looked like a text editor
icon.  I clicked that to see what it did, and ended up with my old
desktop full screen.

Sorry, I did not quite understand the above. I am not aware of such
behavior that allows setting the folder view applet as the desktop
containment.

That's what it looked like, though. A rectangular section rather less than
one quarter of the screen, and everything that had been on my desktop was
there, scaled down.

I realise now that something was wrong with the icons. The icon that looked
like kwrite was in the position that the red X should have been. No wonder
it closed the folder.

Also, how do I add an activity?  Or will that be obvious once the
previous question is resolved? :-)

To add an activity, you have to click on the cashew to the top right, zoom
out, click the cashew again... now there should appear the option to add
activity. AFAIK, the capabilities around this feature is still unfinished.

Maybe I have something wrong, then. Zooming out looks rather like it did when
I thought it was in folder mode, but there were definitely toolbox icons down
the right-hand side when I moved over them, and there aren't now, in zoom-out
mode. Also I have the chequerboard desktop, whereas it was a blue one
before.

I tried editing plasma-appletsrc to plugins=folderview, but it switches back
to plugins=desktop when I log out and in again.

This is 4.0.99 from fedora-testing.
