That's and indirected UI. adding a pretty weird abstraction to something that 
you can do directly (just go over the widget and close it) is never a good 
idea, some issues in this particular case:
a green arrow as a metaphore to -close- widgets, that's kinda the opposite as 
usua...
then that tiny 2,  with arrow i suppose it opens a menu right? but how do you 
connect a menu entry with the corresponding running plasoid? (meybe even in an 
hidden activity) you would simply click on an entry and will kill the wrong 
one
