Hey, and welcome to the forums!

By "bouncy balls", do you mean the red ball you could place on your desktop? You can read about its removal here: http://blog.davidedmundson.co.uk/blog/p ... ons_update

Other than being unprofessional, this widget suffered from various bugs because it did things normal desktop widgets weren't supposed to do (changing its own geometry). Therefore I don't think we'll see it return in Plasma 5. With that said, someone could make a third-party widget and upload it to a place like KDE-look.org. Sounds like a pretty fun project if you're interested in learning more about programming. ;)

I don't think there'll be an "official" replacement, but someone else could make a third-party widget (or probably even better, a containment - but that's a technical detail) that you can install.
