Please get rid of that highlight with toolbox thing around the icons and plasmoids on the desktop or make an option to get rid of them


I have been using computers for over 20 years and many different desktop enviroments but  it took me about several hours and tries at installing, trying and uninstalling kde4 in frustration because I couldnt figure out how to move a simple icon on the desktop and even now when I have figured it out I am only about 50% succesful because it is so difficult to time and target (especially with a touchpad). Besides that I find it to be visually very distracting.

Please make it an option to have a simple left click anywhere on the icon to grap, move, release left button and drop.... and a right click to resize, remove etc... and turn of the toolbox and vista like highlight altogether, a simple glow will do....
