 Thomas: moving options around doesn't eliminate them it just moves them around. now, moving them to the best place possible makes it easier to use, breadth versus depth, selection lists, etc.

in this case, moving all possible buttons individually into the Add Applets section would add more breadth to that list, while many users actually want a *set* of these buttons.

so the two work flows are:

* Open Add Widgets
* Find and Add button 1
* Find and Add button 2

* Open Add Widgets
* Find and Add power controls
* Configure power controls

the latter one provides fewer and more context appropriate selections at each step; particularly consider that in the multiple widget situation buttons 1 and 2 will almost certainly not be adjacent; the "Find" action therefore is the expensive one.

that's why i'm suggesting what i did.

 FiNeX: absolutely.


(why do so many design discussions happen on bugs.kde.org these days?)
