Is a blank folderview much different to a blank desktop? It is just a box sitting on the desktop. 

If it contained something useful or helpful that might be different.

FWIW I agree 100% with Anne, all those on here suggesting a blank Desktop is

In the end a blank Desktop will lead to a lot of confusion and questions which
then leads to unnecessary work/questions for those involved with KDE.
