Bug ID: 476365
Summary: [UX Desktop] Once a widget draws over an icon, the
widget needs to be moved.
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: jaku...@protonmail.com

Target Milestone: 1.0

Can't quickly move the icon out of the way.
SUMMARY
User can drag and drop a file onto a desktop into a fairly hard to reach spot.
Yes this was dragged and dropped with the note already in place, yes I didn't
demonstrate that sorry.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Drag and drop an icon/place a widget on top of an icon.
OBSERVED RESULT
Icon is now inaccessible.
EXPECTED RESULT
I propose 2 solutions to this, let me know what you think of this Nate.
Number 1:
You know how the `super` button is by default set to move around windows
from any position within the window. What if that's how selecting a set of
icons on a desktop and click `super` worked? What if that's how the user could
move around widgets.
Number 2:
1. Widgets now reserve space and push out icons/icons also reserve space and
restrict the resize ability of widgets.
2. The user now needs to hold the resize to grow the widget over said size.
On top of that widgets are no longer pinned to a desktop position when a
scroll-able desktop is concerned.
You know how when you stack a row of icons and push them lower than the screen
can place them plasmashell turns your desktop into a scroll-able desktop.
What if the widgets were tied to a position within the desktop space just like
icons are rather than pinned to an absolute screen position, this way the user
can also use it's desktop as a large sticky note board.
