Version: 4.7 (using KDE 4.7.1) OS: Linux The folder view widget, when placed on the desktop, adheres to the same functionality that it would normally have when dragged to a panel. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Add widget > drag folder view to desktop Actual Results: There is a massive folder icon placed on the desktop. Upon clicking, it gives a dropdown list of folders. Expected Results: There should be a widget with files inside it, a la the normal functionality of the widget. This is a fresh install of kubuntu, simply adding the KDE 4.7 repos, upgrading, and rebooting.
Sounds like a downstream issue. Can you try it the non-ppa KDE?
I was not able to reproduce it (KDE 4.7.3)
Closing as WORKFORME as nobody can reproduce this.
