The last 4.1 build from koji have the same problem as beta/rc Install a plasmaoid (like replacement for quickstarter), it seems to be installed because there is an option to uninstall, but still you can not select it for adding to panel :-(
I don't quite follow, is this a problem with something fedora ships, or are you saying "random plasma applet from somewhere else" doesn't work?
I try download a applet from internet with the built-in option because there is no quickstarter and personally i dont understand how can peopole work without :-(
Created attachment 312726 [details] compile error of quicklauncher plasmoid Do you mean this plasmoid from kde-look.org? http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/QuickLauncher+Applet?content=78061 This seems not to be ported to KDE 4.1's plasma. I was able to compile it for KDE 4.0.x, but not for KDE 4.1 (see the attachment for example). So this is more likely an "upstream issue" with displaying not compatible plasmoids in khotnewstuff and not a bug in the Fedora packages.
Hmm i am unhappy that such essential thing comes from external and is not included directly in the kde-packages instead auf two different clocks where one is enough and a game :-) BTW: I would like to chnage the positions in the panel, this was implemented in a older snapshot, but there so ugly that some luck was needed to get a icon on the place you want - now the options are away :-(
Wrt, moving panel items, that's implemented properly now instead of just an addon hack/patch. Right click panel -> configure panel -> drag-n-drop items to desired position.
Many issues here but the crux is that a bug needs to be filed upstream with the developers, to get it working with 4.1 Since this is not a Fedora issue going to close this as WONTFIX
