/snip/ Don't think it's that. It's part of task manager. Can't put spacer there.
I've also got three/four icons on the left depending what I do. They're not favorites, recent apps or such. Just a few icons to the left in the task-manager (4.0 I believe) that is visible if I don't run one of them. If I close the running one it reappears to the left in task manager. And there seems to be nothing in task manager settings to get rid of it.
picture of them: https://susepaste.org/37fc23fc I can add programs to this left hand panel by selecting "Add to Panel (Widget)" if i right click a program in the app menu. To remove them, you have to right click on the left panel area and select "Edit Panel" then click on the icon to get a mini menu that allows your to remove the widget.
I don't think this is called the task manager. It appears to me that some icons that (for some reason) cannot be shown on the desktop are relegated to the panel. In the past, and in other versions of KDE Plasma, these apps seem to always go to the right-hand end of the panel, with the clock at the extreme right, and other apps piled up just to the left of the clock. I'd like that behavior to remain that way, like it always has, up to now. (For reference, the grinning ball is at the left end, followed, in no particular order, by icons for System Settings, YaST, Konsole, and Kate. These can be moved among this group if desired, but always stay at the left end of the panel. There must be some code somewhere that tells the system how to do these things, and I suspect that it is corrupted or perhaps missing.
Now as I understand it, the Task Manager is a device--a widget, I'm told--which shows on the panel an OPEN task, such as this Thunderbird in which I'm presently writing. Somehow while messing with the panel, I seem to have lost the Task Manager, since Thunderbird is NOT shown now, and if I start Firefox, that doesn't show either. I would like to get that back. (It may just be suppressed, and come back on reboot. I will try that and report back here.)
