Trashcan is another widget, added in the same way :-)
You should bookmark http://userbase.kde.org, as well, for help on settling in
to things that have changed. In particular, I'd suggest that you have a good
read of http://userbase.kde.org/Tutorials for overview and
http://userbase.kde.org/Tutorials/File_Management for getting the best out of
Dolphin.
There's very little now that you could do in KDE3 but can't in KDE4, but often
it's done differently, so ask if you need help.
