When I want to install a plasma applet on the screen, I use Alt+D,A or with a right click I select "Add graphic components". Then a list of installed applets is shown. If I select "Get new graphical components" a new list is shown from remote sources. There is a third source of applet: those which are provided in the core of the distro. They can be loaded with urpmi/rpmdrake/mcc but it is not possible to select them. At least tell that they do exist. An example is plasma-applet-system-monitor-cpu

Sorry, but this bug saw no action since over 2 yrs ago - no cauldron package has stayed the same - and is still assigned to Bug Squad. Closing as OLD Please reopen if this report is still valid for _current_ cauldron and/or fully updated Mageia 4
