Hrm, that didn't really answer the question I asked but it did set me on the
right path to figuring the answer out...
So, from the looks of it, on hover over a widget the number of instances are
shown on the top left corner(if any actively instanced) and for installed third
party widgets on the top right there is a red line-art icon of a trash can(as
opposed to built-ins which don't show it, kinda wish some of them would be
uninstallable too since bloat, but that's neither here nor there).
Based on this it would seem that the Launcher in question was indeed installed
third party. As such the issue can be closed. But I would like to leave some
final thoughts first, if I may.
These elements being hidden under a on-hover flag seems like a rather bad idea
to me, and as I already mentioned in the passing I think it might be a good
idea to make as many of the default widgets as practically possible
uninstallable as well(I understand there are some that are bare minimum
necessary so as to not cripple the usability of the base system itself, so that
is not applicable to those). Which would mean that while this is a measure by
which to tell third party widgets apart for now, should some of the default
bundled ones ever hopefully become uninstallable it would likely be a good idea
to design a new indicator measure for the end user to instantly see and tell
apart which is a default one and which a third party widget.
Also, from what I vaguely understand the `get new widgets` sources widgets from
some third party source that the KDE project has no control over(or so I've
seen stated by others on myriad online forums) so as to assure quality, nor to
ensure they stay up to date for that matter so I'm inclined to say I'd like
to(not that I'm demanding anything tho, or even in a position to for that
matter, just signalling a single end-user opinion) see that removed perhaps
altogether if not replaced with a source that is directly under KDE projects
control.
