However, it is problematic for wireless on my netbook - that is to say wireless doesn't work :-( You have to turn the network service off and networkmanager service on to get the applet.

Like you just said, why not put a folder icon on the desktop and just use Dolphin ? As a matter of fact, that is what I am doing right now. What does Folder View give us that Dolphin doesn't ? As a matter of fact, there are a lot of things that FV doesn't allow that make it frustrating for me. Like you can't drag and drop files between two folderviews, for example. Like I said in a previous post, FV isn't working on my machine. Its freezing it up. Don't ask me why. So I am not using any FVs.

Is there a way to put an application icon (evolution, konqueror, dolphin, etc) in the tray (ie the bar at the bottom of the desktop, or should I say edge) in KDE 4.1.3 ?
