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.

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.
