Fwd: KDE 4.1beta2 Folderview-Plasmoid

[Celeste Lyn Paul]

It kindof makes sense.  Before when the Desktop was a folder, user were forced 
to manage their data where they worked.  People don't keep all of their data 
on their desk, only the files they are working with at the moment.  Now, 
folder view allows users to pick up folders they need, work with them, and 
then put them away and change them for another folder when they want to work 
on something else.  The current implementation matches the metaphor much more 
closely.  Although now we don't want to use the label "Desktop" any more even 
though it is more accurate in both time and space..
