From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The only widget I've found in any way useful as a detached window like that has been the sticky note, and even there the usability is limited compared to just opening kwrite - or any other simple text editor.
It's definitely an interesting - if quite useless and potentially confusing - feature, but it makes complete sense to drop it from core and instead let it live as an extension instead, since it's quite literally just a krunner runner anyway.
