Comment 1 for bug 326404

In previous versions of KDE, widgets that weren't actually downloadable were always listed in the get new widgets window. The list now reflects what is actually downloadable.

We do have quite a few Plasma widgets available in the repositories, however. :-) If you have a hankering for plasmoids I'd suggest searching for plasmoid in Adept or Synaptic. If you come across a widget that we don't have packaged, please file a needs-packaging bug and we'll look in to packaging it. :)
