The main reason for this is that it provides a quick, minimal change that 
provides the desired functionality (no changes in the libplasma, wallpaper 
plugins, ... just PlasmaApp).

I agree that the d-bus objects for each containment/wallpaper would be a much 
cleaner solution*, but it would need a lot of work that nobody (including 
myself) doesn't seem to have the time to do now (as it seems).

So, we have a lot ppl asking for this while we could remove the function once 
we get the more detailed one (if there is a need for that at all) since we 
don't need to probide d-bus API compatibility.

* Although a bit overblown IMO.
