I can't help you with the cashew, but you should be able to get rid of 
any and all widgets.

It sounds like the permissions on your settings might allow for reading, 
but not being able to write them.  Have you checked out the permissions 
on ~/.kde/share/config/*
The only other thing I can think of is that you might have played with 
the kiosktool at some point and set your configs to be unable to be 
updateable.

To move the panel to a different edge, click on the cashew on the panel 
you want to move and then drag the "screen edge" button to the screen 
edge you want the panel on.
