I whole heartedly agree. In fact, I think this whole "Widget Fad" has missed the boat entirely, on every platform. We already have all the apps we need. We don't need more ways to do the same old things we've been doing for EONS. You mean we're going to need to depend on even MORE developers who will get bored of their code? Why?Please don't let widgets take the place of applications! For example, please don't drop Kpager because you've got a pager plasmoid. KPager can be kept out of the way until I need it, then called up with a keyboard shortcut, then removed.
On other hand, I wonder if someone is working on a plasmoid that I can run applications in. Something that would enable me to run hot-babe, or maybe xdaliclock, or even gaim, as a plasmoid.
I think you may have missed the point there.... The point being about how much more useful plasma would be if you could attach any given app to the desktop itself ;p
So as for widgets and your idea of removing window decorations, etc. -- it's been done, and some of us no longer spend any time dragging windows around trying to make them overlap better
