I have the impression that for some users it will never be suitable,
because it is not an issue of bugs in the code, or missing features
which will be added, but a change in the underlying philosophy of how
users should use the desktop. And if the deliberate change doesn't suit
your preferred operation, you're in the market for either
KDElegacy.org
or a totally new WM and utils.
With the folderview applet (plasmoid) in KDE 4.1, you'll be able to use your
desktop as a traditional desktop. (KDE 4.0 tries to support it, but the
implementation as one plasmoid per icon is suboptimal, it will be better in
4.1.) You can also have more than one desktop folder, but the default will be
only one, ~/Desktop, as usual.
