Nice feature, but the UI unnecessarily mixes two different interaction patterns: Checkboxes and drag&drop.
What I'd prefer to do (and we should introduce that as a general paradigm for such things): Put a box "Hidden tabs" below the visualization of the active tabs and allow to add and remove via drag and drop. 
The visualization would be:

---
Visible Tabs:
[ ] [ ] [ ] (ideally visualized like the actual Plasmoid)

"Hidden Tabs"
[ ] [ ]

Drag tabs between the boxes to show/hide them, or reorder the visible tabs by dragging. 

---
That way reaordering and show/hide would work in the same way, and the "Visible Tabs" box would always exactly represent reality.
