Andreas, I see what Maciej is pointing out here.

First, about 1000 plasmoids, he's answering Jared when he proposes to Brenda to look at the Add Widget window and find the name of the plasmoid though a minus simbol among the total amount of plasmoids listed there. He's not saying someone has 1000 plasmoid placed on the desktop. And I agree that the amount of plasmoids will increase big for the next years (something like proportional to KDE4's adoption).

Second, exactly because that increasing is very possible is that today we don't have plasmoids that look like each other but, tomorrow, who knows if we'll not have forks of a plasmoid here or there?

However, exactly because of the use cases of plasmoids' names to be easy to find, I don't see the need of having them on screen the whole time (it's not needed all the time so it shoudln't be there all the time).

Then, I propose that it could be placed somewhere (maybe on top, when possible) on that border around the plasmoids (I don't know the name of that), where we see the plasmoid actions (close, configure, rotate and scale). It's not space taking from anything that's not there already and it's not extra uneeded information seen all the time and also it's easy to find (actually, as easy as the plasmoid's actions and found right by the same way: only on demand).
