Using oS 12.1 with KDE 4.8.

Added a widget yesterday - this is simple enough - but how does one
*remove*
the thing (or any widget for that matter)?! :-)
unlock widgets
move mouse pointer over widget
side-tab will emerge
selece "X" at lower part of side-tab
lock widgets
Nope. I saw this during a search. This possibly may have been the case
earlier (I saw the video where this was done in, I think, KDE4.1 or
something) but no side menu appears; also one cannot click-hold-drag the
widget to the desktop.
what patrick wrote works for widgets on the desktop, not for those on
panels. in that case, right-click on the offending widget, that should
show a 'remove' option (with unlocked desktop, of course). to move them
around, within the panel or to the desktop, you have to click the panel's
"cashew" first.
When the panel toolbox is open (click its cashew), hovering a widget makes a
tab pop out with the same controls (close + configure) as on the desktop
widgets. Or you can right click any widget for the same options.
Thanks Will but here this does not happen :-( .

I thought that this non-compliance may only be the characteristic of the new widget I installed but, NO, all the others that I have all behave in the same manner :-( .
