STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Place a widget somewhere on a desktop
2. Create a text file or an empty file
3. Move/drag the created file over the widget and put it there.

OBSERVED RESULT
Can't move file or properly interact with it.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should be able to interact with the file normally and drag & drop like normal.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Fedora KDE Workstation 42
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.18.0
Qt Version: 6.9.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
There should be a way to set whether a widget is in the background or not.

I think the proper solution would be having icons and widgets in the same layout, not allowed to overlap, though is not a simple issue
