what widget should it use to select the thingies? you want iti to be
clear that they -can- be choosen.

i can't believe the kconfig/qtdesigner "let us down". does it not
allow bidirectional communication, like populating a listview and
choosing it; it would only allow e.g. selecting buttons. man, we
really need a goof fiix for that.

i suppose it could look even better for plasmoids to have as much
config as possible inside them. if it's at all feasible. though you
get the issue with popup applets doing their thing.

/me would definitely want a libplasma2 meeting, even though i'm not
(yet?) involved in the libplasma2 happenings.
