Why is Remove inactive, anyway?  Lock/Unlock, to my understanding, is 
mainly to prevent the applet from moving (either due to an accidental 
click, or while dragging other applets).  To Remove an applet, you need 
to right-click and select Remove; there isn't much chance for 
accidentally performing that operation.

Perhaps Remove should always be active, and Lock/Unlock should be 
renamed to Lock Position/Unlock Position?
