Review request for Plasma.


Repository: plasma-desktop


Description
-------

Widget Explorer takes quite a while to open. Especially now that we load 
basically double the number of items (two columns) and significantly more 
complex SVGs. This patch uses a couple of tricks to make it feel a lot faster:
- Create context menu items on demand
- Set the model for the list after a slight delay
- Some minor cleanups

By setting the model later we let the dialog slide in first (KWin does the 
animation anyway so it won't block) and then nicely fade in the view once we 
have loaded it.

I have noticed that the applet item model which gets the decoration role from 
the applet package can take quite a while blocking the explorer. It might also 
be worth investigating whether we should keep the WidgetExplorer around when it 
has been opened once (I mean the model, not the QML view) so we save creating 
the model everytime we open it again.
