I’m under the impression there’s a button at the bottom-left corner of the “Add Widgets” dialogue that’s supposed to say “Install New Widgets” (or something to that effect)?
I just did a clean-install of (64-bit) 11.0, and I have no button like that at all: http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/wilberfan/noinstall.png
Is this a bug? Is there something I haven’t done (or need to undo)?

The widgets aren’t locked. (And you may have misunderstood my question?)
I’m wondering how to install widgets that aren’t already one of the 25 or so listed in the dialogue box. (For example, something I might download from kde-look.org, etc…)
That should be possible, right?
Well, it’s fixed.
I’m not sure exactly how–I wish now I had written down all the steps–but it involved stumbling upon a forum post that detailed the proper KDE repos to have.
I poked around in the package listings for those repos, and saw some other plasmoids listed that I didn’t have. I tried installing one, which told me I needed a different version of something. When I requested the latest version of that, it looks like it did a major update of KDE?
I’m now, apparently, running Version 4.1.1 (KDE 4.1.0 (4.1 >= 20080722)) “release 40.4”. (I have no idea what version I was running prior to that update (It would be whatever came with the 11.0 install DVD??)))
I now have more plasmoids available to install–AND that “Install New Widgets” button I was missing!
