It's in containments/ right now, but it's derived from Applet. We can probably 
derive it from Containment instead, but it won't buy us anything as far as I 
can see.

Funny. Yesterday on the train, I did exactly the same (making the background 
optional). The problem with no background is that z ordering becomes messy 
(applets behind it are visible, you cannot focus them because the transparent 
folderview is in front of them. Also, without background, it's unclear where 
you can drag those fileicons and where you can't, it's seemingly random.

I thought a bit about it, the z order of the folderview should probably be 
very low (i.e. "behind" all other applets), and the folderview should be full 
screen to solve those issues).

But yeah, string freeze, so at least the UI option is a no-go at this point. 
It's debatable wether it's a feature though (I think it is).

This reassures me that we need some kind of plasma upstream repo where we can 
submit our new features that cannot go into trunk/ right now.
