I was *certain* that all I had to do was right-click the icon when I called it up in the menu then tell it to go to the desktop. Well, try and try, I couldn't find it. Then I thought to myself, "I wonder if I have to unlock the widgets first." And that's all I had to do. Makes sense, really, doesn't it? But it's not intuitive that right-clicking the menu items changes behaviour.

I solved weired things like this just by removing the widget and adding it again. If this still doesn't work, you could try to rename the folder ".kde4" in your home directory and re-logon. this forces kde to create a new (and clean) default profile. The drawback here is, that you'll loose all your kde related settings... hope, the first suggestion helps ;) -- Cheers, Manuel Klemenz signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

You can add it back with the plasmoids menu.
