background image. IOW there's nothing in it (for me).
You may want to delete ~/.kde/share/apps/plasma-desktop and ~/.kde/share/config/activitymanagerrc and copy /usr/share/kde4/apps/plasma-desktop to ~/.kde/share/apps/ so you start with the default activities (as long as you don't have any activity you want to keep).

You get more then me then ;-)
The 'Desktop Icons' activity shows a folder icon for my home folder and a trash icon. Nothing more.
The 'Search and Launch' activity is just as useful as the Photos acitivity, iow only an empty
background image.
Install kde-plasma-netbook (it's a very tiny package) (and first do what I suggested above to reset the activities).

Sounds reasonable, but it doesn't run any of those on my system (but don't have digikam installed).
You can check if a program is running by pressing Ctlr+Esc.
Afaik the folder widget and gwenview don't have a (direct) relation.
