*shrug* if the major complaint is that it takes up space from the area that
can be used to drag the widget around, maybe one remedy might be to make th=
e
minimum size of the bar bigger? Personally though I think there is plenty o=
f
space - even when I shrink my widget to a dot approximately 30% of my bar i=
s
empty and available for drag-moving.
It could hardly be said that the feature is useless if it is being used, an=
d
it is. Right now mostly for aesthetic and fun reasons, probably, but the
utility of the feature should quickly increase as Plasma moves to form
factors like tablets. Personally I feel that as long as we are treating
plasmoids as objects of direct manipulation, the toolbar is a sensible and
natural place to place the rotate button.
