Left Click and Hold on the note. After a few seconds a "handle" will
appear with "Trash
Can" at the bottom to delete the note.
Thanks. I also found that if you right click on the edge of its
window, a menu appears with a close option.
I've also found that a button-2 action on the desktop creates
a note. Where's that configured?
I do not know the answer to that. You may want to ask on the kde(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
list where more KDE users hang out.

Screen Locking is not done in "Power Management". It is under
"Workspace", "Desktop
Behavior", "Screen Locking".
Thanks for the info on where the locking is.
Any idea about the power management error message?
What is the output in a terminal of
systemctl status upower
And what are you using for a VM? VirtualBox, VMware?
