Thanks for your answer. I believe I have written politely all the time and I
will continue to do so :-)

In regards to your question:

>global edit mode?

It would take sometime to reply with a robust statement because I would need to
check one by one all cases where a user can by mistake misconfigure something.

Let me try to do my best with what I can quickly look into.

In the screenshot I posted, you can see that the user is easily able to:

* remove the entire Quick Launch widget with the carefuly curated items we have
put there (a disaster...)
* disable individual shortcuts from the Quick Launch widget (not good either)

The users can also easily go to "Edit Panel" mode where they can drag and
remove panel components with a few clicks even if they are just trying to exit
that mode.

Just during this reply I destroyed my desktop with a few clicks and even as a
technical user it will take me at least 5-10m to put it back exactly to how it
was.

The lock widgets feature was a great safety net. At least the users would have
to explicitly perform an action that speaks by itself "Unlock widgets" to start
messing around the the desktop. Without this we are going to have a
"statistical attack" of support requests and see the levels of silent and vocal
user frustration increase - 15 years of working with KDE on non-technical users
here.
