Right.  I won't do what John suggests for a couple of good reasons

* KDE should make widget placement stable when unlocked so that widgets don't 
run all over like roaches the instant the lock comes off.  Not that I have 
noticed this much in 4.3.0.

* Locked Widgets mode is there so that admins can really lock the desktop 
layout, so I'm not going to workaround it.
