Does anyone know what happened to the spacer plasmoid that was at least
semi- useful for keeping things in place on the panel? Was it replaced by
something else that I'm missing?

There was a very basic spacer applet patched into kde4-plasma-addons but as
far as I can see it does not compile with trunk and has been commented out.
There is a more powerful applet in playground in KDE SVN but we don't have it
packaged. It won't be in 4.3 because the Plasma team have decided not to
implement spacers as applets - this allows weird things like adding spacer
applets to the desktop.

I asked the Plasma team about it and they have added a button to the plasma
toolbox to add spacers to the current panel (in SVN now), and are thinking
about a resize-handle-based approach to edit spacers instead. I expect when
4.2.70 is published you will see the basic "Add Spacer" button in your
toolbox.
