Description Martin van Es 2010-02-11 15:50:40 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

In the new 'Add Widgets' interface for KDE 4.4.0 there is no 'disable' option (or I couldn't find it) in the widget explorer as there used to be in the pre-4.4.0 version. This is too bad because 'I HATE cashew' has no plasma handles to disable it on the desktop itself. So I see it running in the explorer, but I can't disable it.
Comment 1 Dario Andres 2010-02-11 23:11:54 UTC 
I think this was reported before but just dismissed as the "I hate the cashew" widget/plugin was just a hack; but I can't find the bug report ID.
Let the Plasma developers properly check this. Regards
Comment 2 Martin van Es 2010-02-12 09:42:36 UTC 
Even if you say that the "I hate cashew" plugin is a hack, I could imagine widgets performing tasks without handles, that can not be removed anymore. Which could in the past. So this clearly makes it a regression, in my very humble opinion?
Comment 3 Dario Andres 2010-02-16 14:59:24 UTC 
- Which other widgets are "invisible" ?
Comment 4 Martin van Es 2010-02-16 19:52:40 UTC 
I don't know of any but does that make the regression any less valid?
Comment 5 Dario Andres 2010-02-16 20:37:34 UTC 
It was just a question because I don't really know about other invisible widget. Note that I'm not a Plasma developer...
Comment 6 Jonathan Thomas 2010-02-24 02:30:20 UTC 
I don't really think there are any other applets that disable the handle. (And that's a hack in and of itself)
