</div>This is actually what i have all the time. The first thing i do when i<br>
install Fedora is remove any widgets on the desktop.<br>

<br>
</div>I think this is the best option though. It's very easy to remove (one<br>
click) for people who don't want the folderview but it's the least<br>
surprising to new users (both to kde 4.7 and from "the other side").<br>
<div class="im"><br>
> 3. (kevin's favorite. :) ) use folderview *layout*, full screen, aka like kde3 times.<br>
<br>
</div>Using the folderview layout doesn't seem to work all that well with<br>
adding other widgets and although i found the option to change the<br>
layout fairly quickly it is not entirely obvious to new users that<br>
they need to change that setting just to make widgets work smoothly.<br>
That might cause quite a bit of confusion since plasma widgets are<br>
advertised as quite a major feature of kde.<br>
<br>
As for the whole facebook vs google+ discussion i don't think either<br>
are a particularly great idea. I hate facebook and it's invisible to<br>
anybody without an account. Google+ seems a lot better on both counts<br>
but sadly since it is still invitation only many people still can't<br>
use it properly (myself included).<br>

<br>As far as the Facebook or Google+ poll goes how about a poll on the Fedora Forum?
