If found the issue on my rigs.
In ${HOME}/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc I had for the 
Desktop layout in the [Containments][1] section the following: 
"plugin=org.kde.desktopcontainment"

If I change this to "plugin=org.kde.plasma.folder" my Left-Click action 
works again.

If I change it back, then it stops working again - so I looks like this 
is a "issue".

@Caveman Al Toraboran: If you do not like KDE, that is fine with me, BUT 
then, you do NOT have to "pollute" the thread with your opinions if they 
do nothing to solve this KDE issue.
