I cannot get the widget to turn off

Re: kubuntu Desktop jam up

You should have written if the jam is just after installation or after some fiddling with the desktop.

If after fiddling you can try this:
1. Press Ctrl+Esc, kill plasma, screen will be black
2. Press Alt+F2. It will launch KRunner, run Dolphin and rename .kde directory in your home. System will create the new one.
3. Run plasma from KRunner.
You will get fresh desktop like after upgrade to the new version and you will lose some settings, if you have done some. You can save something from the old .kde, for example kmail files.
