I'm not sure about that. How do you answer user mails when the arrows are 
there only in some themes? "You can use the context menu to remove the 
applet, press the arrow button ... wait, do you use theme X?"

Neither I nor you need the arrows to find the context menu and yes, it is 
inconsitent but you won't believe how many bugs got submitted to bugs.kde.org 
by people who did not find out how to remove applets.
