how to remove widgets in new plasma desktop?
The Plasma desktop just showed up after my last stretch full-upgrade and 
it's giving me some headaches.
- no volume control
- no apparent way to remove widgets
- lots of weird behaviour when switching between virtual desktops.
The volume control workaround was simply to run kmix, which then 
installs itself on the panel. The video artifacts eventually go away but 
it does slow me down (and yes, I am using the open source drivers, not 
the proprietary ones).
Removing widgets so far has proved to be impossible however. There 
doesn't seem to be a way to do it from the panel, from the application 
menus or even by editing the .kde resource files. Clicking or 
right-clicking (or both together) doesn't bring up an option to remove 
widgets. Locking and unlocking the widgets doesn't change anything.
