Isn't that rather a detriment to utility on repeated use? It's sometimes important to remember new users don't stay new users for very long, and first-time use isn't the only experience to optimize for.
  
  
  Yeah, I do understand the criticism that this makes it really tall. Originally I had the three-item Task Manager section in a sub-menu, saving two slots. But it didn't look and feel as good in the end. Ultimately I'd like to see us put some more work into defining just when Widgets should actually be configurable and replaceable, because the three-mode system we have right now is kind of awkward. See T10190: (Re)define modes when editing panels and widgets <https://phabricator.kde.org/T10190>.
  
  That said, I really like the logical separation between sections that this patch produces and I'd like to keep that.

  I can submit a patch to make it as close as possible if and when this lands (well, the parts of it that are duplicated here, that is).
