Screenshot: Top: Stack, Bottom: First widget created

SUMMARY

Creating a very first widget via the context menu "Add Chart as Desktop Widget" places it in the center of the screen.
Creating additional widgets, places them _only_ adjacent to the top border of the first widget, creating a stack of them. :-)


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0. Have an empty desktop, no icons / widgets placed on it
1. Open Systemmonitor
2. Right click on of the Network & System charts, choose "Add Chart as Desktop Widget"
3. Check the outcome, repeat step 2

OBSERVED RESULT
Please see the screenshot.

EXPECTED RESULT
The widgets use the empty space around and do not pile up.

System Monitor is not responsible for the placement of the applets, it's plasmashell, moving this there.

Can still reproduce in Plasma 6.

This was fixed a while ago.
