A few observations, queries:
1. Folks seem to be posting applets on kde-look. This is for eye-candy,
decorations, screen savers. Applets that treat useful information belong on
kde-apps, I would think.
2. What to show? Seems to be a trend of plaster large screen areas with the
whole kit-and-c

There really does need to be a pervasive integration of all aspects of
the user-experience with plasma. Get Hot New Stuff is an interesting
compromise, but at the moment it seems a strange klutch, which stands
in the way of implementing a much mor

I do really like the platform-independence and compilation-free
packages! I had neglected those; that's awesome, so the picture is
much less depressing than my post says.
Plasma themes themselves are also independent, correct? (Assumption
based on hearing efforts to port Plasma to Windows).

Well, true. I suppose the only reservation is that such solutions
like the Google Gadget/iPhone software stores require the development
of a supported software delivery system, that I think should not be
outsourced to a third party website. And that takes a lot of planning
and resources - KDE can

hmm... let's brainstorm on this ... things that are "global" plasma settings:
* Plasma theme
* install/remove widgets
* per-virtual-d

These are a little speculative but:
- panel-follows-activity?
- Activity -> Icon threshold for s

More observations:
Drawing by svg::paint yields too large a view on the panel (where one cannot
adjust the plasmoid size). When I used that, I shrunk the rectangle to 80%.
When I used kicon.::paint for the same svgz, I did not need to adjust the
rect.
Some plasmoids available in repositories o

Maybe we can add screensaver config?
