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.
