Nice feature!
There definitely has to be a way to uninstall a Plasmoid, however. Can't we show an uninstall button when hovering over a Plasmoid in the widget gallery?

Also, the labeling of the pupop menu when dropping on the desktop is unfortunate in general, as it is not self-explanatory at all.
What are those heading for, anyway? A context menu should only contain only action items.
I know this is a general problem with this menu (which I have not noticed yet because apparently I never dropped anything on the desktop recently which opens such a menu), but you should start here by just using a single entry "Install Wigdet" instead of "Plasma Package" and "Install".

I don't see a way to check for "applet already installed" (should update existing one if newer?) or "installation failed". In the former case I just want to add the already installed applet
