Also debug() is a top level function but plasmoid.print() is not - print is a top level function and debug wasn't ... in trunk they both are. i will fix this so that debug() is a top level function in both releases. http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma/JavaScript/API#Print_a nd_Debug describes them both as top level. yes, they should be. -- Aaron J.
