The Dashboard is what shows up when you press the Ctrl+F12 keys (if Plasma is running and if you didn't change the shortcut of course). <cite>By default, this "brings forward" your desktop and helps address the "but I never see my desktop!" problem</cite>, explains Aaron Seigo in [http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2008/09/howto-decoupling-dashboard-from-desktop.html HOWTO: decoupling the dashboard from the desktop].

The first thing to do is create a new "Desktop" that will become our Dashboard:

#find a button to add an Activity (you might have to unlock the plasmoids for this button to appear)

The second step is to quit Plasma so it won't interfere while we are editing its configuration files:

*execute {{Ic|kquitapp plasma}}

You can get new plasmoids from kde-look.org.

There are a large amount of plasmoids in the AUR, including kde-extragear-plasmoids-metaAUR which collects popular plasmoids from kde-look.org and places them in a single package.
