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.
