SUMMARY
KDE6 changed the default behavior of desktop widget's popup windows. In KDE5
they were readily dismissable - I believe when they lost focus, they would
disappear. This is ideal for windows like these.

In KDE6, seemingly the only way to get rid of them is to a) focus them and b)
press escape. There is no discoverable close button on most/all of them.
Clicking on the desktop background does not get rid of them. They persist ON
TOP of the stack of you switch to an application (although they will, at least
sometimes, disappear after some short period of time in this scenario).

There appears to be no setting to control this behavior.

This issue causes me enough friction that I'm honestly contemplating shopping
DEs (although in reality I will probably come back to KDE again). I interact
with widget windows many times a day, and it's consistently annoying.
