Hi Eli,
No, the widgits on the desktop or on the bottom panel are not locked.
There are no widgits on the top panel.
The panel itself is a widget. I suspect something has corrupted in your kde
profile. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. However, I believe that if you log
off. Either log in as root and travel to you home folder and edit plasma-
appletrc you should be able to edit this file and remove any "[Containments]"
with panel plugins.
The file is located at /home/"your username"/.kde/share/config/plasma-appletrc
If you don't want to loose all your desktop, you will need to make a backup of
the file just in case.
You will be looking for containment stanzas lines that begin with
[Containment][(followed by a number)] (ie [Containments][12]). Within that
stanza there should be a line that reads plugin=panel. There could very well
be more than one of these. If you that stanza, and then log back in as you,
the panel should be gone.
