Widget locking is now only a hidden parameter that can be set up as a restriction so we're rewording the inline message to take that into account.

Technically it still does exist, it's just hidden. If a person does enable this, perhaps the message is still nice to have? Or maybe we should not show it because the expectation would be that your admin/technically competent grandson has enabled it for your own good and this shouldn't be highlighted?

Hmm if it still exists then we probably want to leave it because it doesn't make not being able to change the desktop layout look like a bug. How to enable widget locking currently though?

You need to set it in the config file by hand IIRC. It's quite hidden now, and will inevitably bit-rot. :/ I wonder if we should just bite the bullet and fully kill it, or expose a super hidden GUI for it somewhere,

Ok, so the message can indeed still be turned on.
Setting:
~/.config/plasmarc [General] immutability=2 (or 4)
... does not work, however the following does:
~/.config/kdeglobals [KDE Action Restrictions][$i] plasma/plasmashell/unlockedDesktop=false
Which means that if widget locking now only exists as a restriction... perhaps it would make more sense to change the text of this inline message to say "Layout changes have been restricted by the system administrator"?
Otherwise telling a restricted user that widgets are locked isn't helpful since they can't (and shouldn't) unlock their widgets?

restore the inline message but change its text to note that layout changes have been restricted by the sysadmin
