The clock should be fixable since they don't have to be the same I/O
inputs.  With the clock, Button1Up should open the Calendar.  However,
dragging is done while Button1Down is true.  You also need the logic
that KDeskTop and Konqueror have for icons where if you drag while
Button1Down is true then the Button1Up has no effect.

Yes, it should be the same for all widgets.

So this should be in the Plasma library to drag while Button1Down and
pass Button1Up on the widget if there has been no drag.

This can be improved for drag.  For, Button1Down after a very short 
delay then the cursor changes to: "fleur" and you can drag.  After this 
change, the Button1Up will not be padded to the widget.

If the borders are only for configuration, I don't see the point.  I 
would eliminate the boarders.  I especially don't like the icons in the 
boarder.  Those actions should be in the context menu when the widgets 
are unlocked.
