no virtual workspaces in default settings

I don't completely disagree. The folder widget, and having to switch to 
"Folder View" is very confusing for new users, and it is discouraging 
new people I recommend to use Kubuntu.

This is great. It will stop getting new comers confused. In my opinion 
the Folder Widget should not be set by default. It is useful, but not 
mandatory.

I'm using this very much, especially at work. It is helping me a great 
deal to organize my work:
Desktop 1 ("Work 1") - Main Working Space
Desktop 2 ("Work 2") - Testing Space
Desktop 3 ("Personal") - Personal Space

And if I had a better computer, I would probably have more.
