If desktop widgets are locked, the Desktop Settings -> Wallpaper -> Layout combobox is disabled. The user should be informed about the reason for this (the locked desktop widgets). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Lock desktop widgets. 2. Right click desktop and pick Desktop Settings. 3. Baffle at the disabled "Layout" combobox :)
I confirm that this is a problem. Before ruching to fix it, however, I'd like to put it on the "things that fix themselves if we properly distinguish use and config mode" list. This symptom of the underlying problem should only be treated separately if the Plasma team decides that it does not want such a separation in general, at all.
I'll add a tooltip for now on the disabled element, then we can do something better later. And yes, I want that config mode. So it is happening.
Yes, a tooltip is the correct bandaid for the problem
Yea, that'll work. I would have found that when I was first searching around.
