Both of those packages are installed.

I just ran another experiment. I deleted .kde4, .local and everything 
from /tmp. When I started a kde session I was greeted with the default 
kde-freebsd wallpaper (which is nice, btw.)

Checking the Activities set the odd "undefined" activity was there. The 
upper right-hand corner button read "Desktop."

I then changed the wallpaper, added a folder view widget and logged 
out of kde. 

When I logged back in, the wallpaper was the default kde one. The 
folder view widget was gone. The upper-right-hand corner reads "New 
Activity."

The Activities section still shows the odd "undefined" activity.
