OK, thanks for the advice. I just blew away the KDE panel at the bottom and reconstructed it. I have some things to learn, but apparently I have yet to discover how to move widgets around within a panel and it seems that it is not possible to do that easily since the panel as a whole is either left, center, or right justified and does not allow for "float" adjustment as in Gnome panels. Also, there is that annoying "Desktop Folder" - geez, how to I put stuff directly on the desktop just as in Gnome? Well... I will have to explore some more.
