Description Jos van den Oever 2008-03-16 11:41:50 UTC

Version:           4.00.66 (KDE 4.0.66 >= 20080313) (using 4.00.66 (KDE 4.0.66 >= 20080313), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.22-14-generic

Applets for which the library has been deleted cannot be permanently removed from the desktop: they reappear on the next login.
They are not deleted from .kde4/share/config/plasma-appletsrc

- put an applet on the desktop, e.g. a clock
- remove plugin for applet: "rm libplasmaclock.so*"
- logout
- login
- read message about missing plugin: "This object could not be created for the following reason: Invalid applet description".
- remove the applet
- logout
- login
- observe that the applet is back
