Yes, I had tried that.  I think I've solved it, though.  It was yet another 
example of the system being thrashed because the video driver wasn't coping.  
It uses an Intel driver, so I created an xorg.conf (Fedora doesn't have one by 
default) and put in the line "Option      "AccelMethod" "EXA" "

X, kwin and plasma still have the top three places in top, but with nothing 
like the cpu usage I'd previously seen.  And now both of my folderviews are 
working.
