I've found that if I exit KDE, then move ~/.kde to ~/.kde.old and restart KDE, 
I can then configure the desktop to show the thumbnails that I desire.  
However, this particular HACK makes konqueror forget my cookie settings, 
makes kmail forget who I am, and just generally resets the whole ball-o-kde.

So the question now is:  Which file or files in ~/.kde could be deleted to 
cause KDE to reset only the desktop to its default settings?

thanks,

P.S.  KUDOS to the KDE team for making it so easy to reset everything!  Not to 
mention for creating the most inviting desktop around!
