Lock/Unlock widgets in the context menu?
Btw you can fire up add applets on the desktop and drag them to a
panel.. doesn't really make a difference ;)

Panel and desktop settings are in .kde/share/config/plasma* files
removing just them (ideally when logged out of kde) should bring the
default desktop/panels back..

theoretically plasma-desktop-appletsrc should be enough to delete...


Don't see how different from kde3 this is.. if you messed up your
kicker configuration you had to either delete it, or rebuild the panel
(create it, place it at the correct position, add correct applets...)
(well, the only difference is that desktop and panel were separate
programs...)
