--- Comment #5 from Aaron J. Seigo <aseigo at kde.org> ---
Ah, and to expand on that "not intended" bit: Plasmoids are not supposed to be
able to touch the containment or other plasmoids (for obvious safety and
security reasons), the only reason they could was because of limitations in
QGraphicsView in this regard. With QML2, Plasma 2 seals this off entirely. So
even "fixing" this now will simply be broken in future.

Please stop working around things with dangerous and unsupported *hacks* and do
it properly: use a containment that does not have a toolbox. That has been the
option for what, 6 years now? Nobody bothers to do it even though it would be
far less work than maintaining these broken-by-design plasmoids.

Why people insist on taking the wrong approach when there is a clearly
supported useful approach that would do precisely what they want is beyond me.
