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?
go to http://goo.gl/zC4c1 Look for the right version in the Download column (Since I am using 64 bit version and kde 4.8 I used fc17.x86_64.rpm) Open konsole and download it with wget Extract rpm: rpm2cpio kde-plasma-ihatethecashew-*.rpm | cpio -idmv copy files to usr sudo cp -r usr/* /usr/ Click on add widget and select i HATE the cashew Done.
Thanks for the above but unfortunately it does not work for me (using a 32-bit system with KDE 4.8). The i686 file I downloaded does not get rid of the cashew even though the ihatethecashew widget is in place :-( .
OK, here's the rub :-) . I downloaded and installed the ihatethecashew rpm from http://goo/gl/zC4c1 but it wouldn't work for me. Until in one of my fiddling-with-it attempts I struck gold! :-) . Reason for it "not working"? Well, I have 6 desktops, each set up to have its own set of widgets. The ihatethecashew widget has to be applied to each and everyone INDIVIDUALLY to get rid of the cashew on each workspace. How to do this? Install the 'hate' rpm (as per instructions). Go to one of the desktops and activate this widget by adding it to the widgets: unlock widgets, click on the cashew you see at the far right end of the taskbar, add weidgets, type in the Find box [left side] 'i hate' and the widget will appear under this box, 2X click on it and it will get a tick to indicate that it is selected; NOW, left-click and hold drag this widget to the Desktop and release -- the Cashew on the Desktop disappears! :-) . Go to all your other Desktops and do the last part again for each one: find the hate widget, drag it to the desktop.......
