It was a plasmoid, whatever replaced the pre-KDE4 Desktop, but didn't cover
the whole Desktop surface. Problem is, it's not on the Panel anymore since
I had to restart Plasma so I don't know where to drop it from.
I run my Panel vertically on the left of the screen. One day I noticed he
Desktop area had what looked like a scrollbar on the left side it so I
tried it but I guess I inadvertently dragged whatever I thought was the
scrollbar enough onto the Panel that it iconified there. Then when I tried
to use the icon to put things back Plasma went into a 100% CPU spin and I
had to kill and restart it and neither the icon nor my Desktop came back.
