There's a patch for iHateTheCashew that make it work with 4.6 (see comments on KDE-look for more details). The panel cashew has pretty much always been there, it disappears when you lock your widgets.

Just passing on that “I hate the cashew” plasmoid doesn’t work with KDE 4.6.2. Neither does the Stealth Cashew mentioned in one of the comments. The hiding behind a panel trick works fine. With at least KDE 4.6.2, the cashew is also part of the panel, beats me why. So I had two cashews, or 4 if I am using dual monitors. I really can’t find a use for even one. I’m looking for a way to remove them from the panels now.

What exactly didn’t work Newar? Do you use KDE SC 4.4 RC or Beta? I haven’t tried yet, but I don’t think this plasmoid works well in 4.4. And even if it did, it’s not as easy to remove using the new widget explorer.

If I remember correctly, it wasn’t possible to move the cashew when I published this post. But yeah, now your method works as well. There’s also another widget called Stealth Cashew to deal with that yellow thingy.

I tried to follow the instruction above but didn’t work. Then I discovered a tricky way to, not remove, but hide the cashew nut in the jar. That jar is your panel. Just move your main panel to one edge of the screen (probably left) and then drag the cashew right to the bottom of the screen (of course widgets must be in “unlock” mode). Now bring back the panel to its original position (bottom of the screen). The cashew is covered by the panel now. Might sound funny but at least its out of your sight. Ha ha…

I don’t hate it, but I appreciate that you can remove the cashew. =)

Am I the only one in the world that really likes the cashew? It’s neat

Yeah, the more “clean” way to get a desktop without the cashew is to use a containment which has disabled the toolbox.

It seems that the default desktop activity in openSUSE 11.1 doesn’t have the desktop cashew.
