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 :-( . Something is broken on your system... or you have a case of PEBKAC (something I'm far too often afflicted with myself)
:-D But in this case I don't think it is PEBKAC - more like talking across purposes, so to speak, or more like lack of proper information.
If you are in the default Desktop view with KDE4.x, you:
And here lies the problem, and the lack of information. I do NOT use the default Desktop setting. I have 6 Desktops/workspaces which all have a different wallpaper - and the screen is completely empty of anything widget-ty. All I have is a wallpaper. All icons which launch my applications are sitting in the Taskbar which is auto-hidden at all times and only shows up when I "hover" over it. The best way I can describe what my desktop (any desktop) looks like is shown here: http://picpaste.com/desktop3-CfPZi0Wm.jpg And when I hover over the invisible taskbar I get this: http://picpaste.com/desktop3-2-BJb6bSFn.jpg The bottom line to all this is that the only wodgets I see are those which appear when I "do things to the taskbar" :-) , and here, while I can ADD widgets, I cannot DELETE them.

Sometimes a widget lives as a hidden object... those are a bit harder to remove since there is nothing to right-click on. I've only had this happen once, and removing the RPM was enough.
Which is what appears to be the only solution. But while this may be OK for this "ihatethecashew' rpm what about all the other widgets? At least for now I don't have to worry about this "hatecashew" widget as I got it to work (as you can see from the screenshots on picpaste).
