Bug 152698

it is possible to add things to the panel (although some of them mess up the panel until you restart plasma). it's now possible to remove any applet via the applet browser - although I still consider it a bug that some applets can *only* be removed from there.

*** Bug 153947 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

If you added the same applet twice somewhere and you remove it from the applet browser, it will be removed from both places. I doubt this is the intended behavior or if it is, there is a definite need for a way to remove the applet from where you want it.

andras: that is the intended behaviour; 'remove all'. I think it's better than removing one at random, until someone comes up with a UI that makes it possible to choose what to remove. I was hoping people wouldn't find it so confusing.

Marking as a wish because plasma is new software rather than a kde4 port of kicker & friends.

Adding widgets to the panel works now (the panel breaking has its own bug).

There is a unified way for removing applets already but for some reason applets that have embedded Plasma::Widgets don't propagate the context menu events.

hack to make widget send context menu events upward

Qt's documentation says that context menu events are propagated to the parent,
but there's no such logic in the code itself. This really needs to be fixed
upstream, but this hack works around it for everything but the system tray and
shouldn't cause problems even after it is fixed upstream.

Take #2

I was hoping to make it easy to add any other events that need to be
propagated, but it wasn't to be (aka it didn't work properly). This patch works
properly. ;)

SVN commit 749078 by jstubbs:

Move the "call the parent's contextMenuEvent()" hack from Applet into
Widget so that applets with embedded widgets also get the containment's
context menu.

It wouldn't be better just to grab and paste the plasmoids to add/remove off
the panel?

Dragging off the panel will probably come with the ability to drag around the panel (which has a bug). All applets should be removable from the panel by right-clicking and selecting "remove.." and adding to the panel should be possible by dragging them from "Add widgets". The panel might break when you add/remove widgets but there's a bug open for that too.
