Description William Kenney 2016-04-03 20:02:58 CEST
Description of problem:

Attempting to add Widgets to the panel results in mixed errors.

Example:

Right click on panel -> Panel Options -> Add Widgets...

dragging widget to panel is unsuccessful most of the time.

When successful the follow error is reported when attempting
to work with the widget:

Unable to run the command specified. The file or folder /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.icon/contents/ui/desktop.desktop does not exist.

Or maybe I don't understand how this works.

I think with Plasma "Add Widgets" you get a list of widgets that you can narrow with a text box, e. g. "network" or "clock", and then you add the widget by double-clicking on the icon.  It may only show up when you close "Add Widgets".

I'd like to suggest that we pick one or two Plasma based distros and use
those as examples of what maybe M6 Plasma should do. Maybe OpenSuse 17.3?
Comment 3 William Kenney 2016-04-04 17:18:48 CEST
Sorry OpenSuse 42.1

Not yet confirmed whether this is a real bug or usability issue.
