These are all/most standard kde behaviors, not specific to Fedora.
Yes, I've found that out.

If you can't see icons on desktop, creating a new file/icon there doesn't
make much sense, does it? (:
I do have icons on the desktop. But if I'd like to create a new
folder, I'd like to right-click the desktop and choose New->Folder.
The New option is not in the context menu.

New is only available if you disable desktop icons, see
KDE Control Panel -> Desktop -> Behavior, File Icons tab
*check* "Automatically line up icons"
I don't think that is correct. I've always had icons on the desktop,
and I've always had a New option in the context menu.

$ yum install kdeartwork xscreensavers-base \
xscreensavers-extras xscreensavers-extras-gl
should get all of them for you.
I did find that out in the archive. I was hoping that I could install
just the one I wanted. Oh well, no big deal. Thanks.
