In the past, when widgets were locked, editing the panel required the
following:
1. Right-click on the panel or desktop and choose "Unlock widgets"
2. Click on the settings button on the panel

Now, editing the panel requires the following:
1. Right-click on the panel and choose "Edit Panel"

Are you saying that your users are explicitly clicking on this "Edit Panel"
menu item and then destroying their panels while in panel edit mode? That seems
like it's exposing an issue with the usability and potential destructiveness of
panel edit mode itself.

I agree with you that many users lie in a middle ground where they're not
afraid to experiment but expect that experimenting won't break their systems.
That's something we want to support, for sure. However this bug report is
getting pretty cluttered and it would probably be best to file new ones on the
use cases that you find are problematic. This would be very valuable
information, for sure. Once you file those bugs, please mention them in a
comment here.


Regarding the issues with the quicklaunch widget, they appear to be unique to
that widget. The widget is building its own context menu and displaying the
same items regardless of whether the user is in edit mode or not. We should
definitely fix this, but we will need a separate bug report on this. Can you
file one on kdeplasma-addons | quicklaunch and mention the URL in a comment
here?
