KDE 4.2 is on the horizon and release candidates are available but of course outside of the standard distribution packaging. Again, Fedora has been really aggressive here, backporting fixes and in general, I am really loving KDE-4 myself. Fedora packagers just put out a complete set of KDE updates yesterday...the second or third massive update of KDE-4 in the few weeks of F10 availability. I love those guys for what they're doing. That said, regardless of the status of the 'Folder View' Plasmoid, the desktop on KDE-4 simply is not what people are used to and it is pretty much dead space where the filesystem is concerned. If you're pre-disposed to keeping files on your Desktop, then KDE-4 will bother you.
