  I'm quite heavily -1 on this.
  
  This is removing various entries that I personally use regularly and that I think \
users rely on:  
  - Add Widgets
  - Add Panel
  - The lock toggle
  
  These are only "unnecessary" if you assume people actually understand and use the \
desktop toolbox, which I don't believe (plus we allow disabling it, which means these \
actions become wholly inacessible). I'd wager vastly more people use these via the \
context menu.  
  It also removes an action that's part of the Plasma design, the associated app \
action that a containment/applet can change dynamically, and that's quite useful \
together with Folder View.

REPOSITORY
  R120 Plasma Workspace
