Behavior of Widgets in a Panel

[Stan Goodman]

I've made a second Panel, at the top of my screen (oS 11.3, KDE 4.4), to
use for housing widgets. This Panel is nearly as long as the screen is
wide, just so it doesn't interfere with the "cashew", and its minimum
length is just short of its maximum length.

Getting the first few widgets onto this panel is very easy, and the
icons are comfotably just adjacent to their neighbors. Then something
happens, and succeeding widgets just pile on each other, making them all
unusable. The two thirds of the panel to the right of this pileup are
vacent, and I have not found a way to move anything into them.

I have been able to delete the pileup, leaving the rightmost widget the
"LCD Weather Station", but the Weather Station resists being removed,
even when widgets are unlocked. Clicking on it with Mouse Button 2
(sorry, I am left-handed) does nothing. I would cheerfully give up this
particular widget it is responsible for this behavior.

Why has this happened, and how can I regain use of the remainder of the
panel?
