I'm constantly being hounded by everyone I help install openSUSE... they all.. 100%... hate the Desktop Toolbox (aka Cashew) and want it removed. In another era (around openSUSE 11.0 timeframe) I was able to put ShowDesktopToolbox=false in one of the the ~/.kde4/share/config rc files and restart Plasma... and it'd be gone. That doesn't seem to work anymore (at least not when I try to add it to plasma-desktop-appletsrc).
There have been loads of KDE.org bugs opened requesting a config option to hide or remove the Desktop Toolbox (Cashew), and they've all been closed as WONTFIX by Aaron (dev over at KDE... he absolutely refuses to consider the requests and gets VERY grumpy when anyone asks about it)
Stealth Cashew seems to be available by default in 12.1 (or did I install it and forget?), but it fails with a ruby-script error. (as an aside: If it is there by default, why aren't the the bits needed to run it also installed?) I managed to sort out the missing bits so that Ruby based Plasmoids will run... I launched the Stealth Cashew widget, set the sliders to completely transparent... and nothing, it didn't work.
I dug around and found Py-Cashew on KDE-Look.org. After installing it, it fails with a "Could not create a python ScriptEngine for the Py-Cashew widget" error. i tried all the usual tricks like installing python-devel to try and get it working, but nothing.. it simply fails.
So.. what options are left here... I've got people asking me why they can't remove it, and really pestering me to get rid of it... and so far I've got nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I agree. The damn thing is annoying. I have perfectly clean desktops but have to put up with this wart on otherwise perfect-looking 6 wallpapers. There is the option in the Shortcuts in this "nut" to "Remove this Widget" which is done with ALT+D,R . I haven't tried it yet (don't want to break something that ain't broke), and I don't know which Widget will get removed.
