Description of problem: http://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/FAQ/4.4/Configuration#How_do_I_remove_widgets.3F describes how to remove widgets; but none of these work.  There is no "Remove this..." option; only "Remove this panel..." which is way too brutal a way...

which widget do you want to remove ?  give more infos so i can understand

Comment 2 Pierre Fortin 2014-01-31 21:00:21 CET

At the moment, Hardware Temperature.

I've tried adding a second Default Panel (top) and adding widgets such as Analog Clock and Battery Monitor; but there is NO way to remove these, except by removing the entire panel...

IIRC in order to remove the "activities","logout" and "pager" widgets (none of which I use), I dragged them to the desktop and was able to delete them from there. (The right-click option to remove them became available when they were on the desktop.) 

Unlock widgets 
Open panel config 
Drag and drop unwanted widget to desktop

Thanks James.  That worked; notwithstanding bug 12482...  However, this is not as documented (see link in initial report above) and certainly not intuitive.

KDE4, so Mageia 5 only.

Version: Cauldron => 5
