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.

i've always used either folder view or the default desktop, and never noticed that it's possible to create all types of icons on a 'normal' desktop. interesting...and thanks for letting me know.
