the easiest way is to change the type of the containment from 
DesktopContainment to CustomContainment. 
 
in libplasma2 we intend to make the applet handles customizable / provided by 
the containment and/or shell much as how the context menus are.

and how is the user going to reliably move or configure the widgets?

while what you ask for is possible, unless you provide a reasonable 
replacement you will simply cause your users more grief by making it 
impossible for them reliably move, configure or close widgets. i would also 
suggest that making users rely on right click menus is not simplifying 
anything.

can you tell us which OS and/or device this will appear on so we know how to 
identify incoming bug reports that may end up related to this? thanks...
