this review is less about the actual code in this review and more about the 
design of the system monitor in general.

currently the main applet embeds the other applets; this obviously won't work 
in the QML2 world. so each of the small applets really needs to become an 
individual QML item that can be re-used in both individual applets and in 
combination with each other. to that end, my proposal is this:

* create a QML import that contains all of the monitors as individual QML items.
* create a stand-alone plasmoid that wraps those monitors
* design a way to allow the kind of scripting/control that we see in popular 
packages like conkie to allow re-use of these components; perhaps the best way 
to do this would be to provide a small designer tool that would let one define 
the order of components and what they should be showing which would then export 
a finished plasmoid implementing that design.
