So to have a Clock Plasmoid:



Containments are containers that allow to group elements.




Compared to an Plasmoid the panel, while being itself an applet, can contain also other applets and even other containments like panels.


The desktop itself is also a containment. The default desktop, those that will show up if you start KDE4, contains the panel containment and a few other Plasmoid like icons.

Just like there may multiple panels within a desktop, they may also multiple desktops the user may use.

One example is the default desktop someone sees if KDE4 got started. Another example may then the multiple desktops the user is able to switch between using the desktop-switcher. Other samples are different desktops for different monitors, another one for tv-out, for small devices, presentation mode aka presenter view, etc.
