Fwd: [Branch ~kubuntu-members/kubuntu-default-settings/ubuntu] Rev 344: Add initial plasma config scripts to soon replace patches and weird rc files.

[Harald Sitter]

Hullos,

I have just done some trials with the new plasma scripting API [1] and
come up with replacement scripts for patch
kubuntu_71_default_plasma_layout.diff from kdebase-workspace.

Since I currently do not have access to either lucid nor a real 4.4.0,
I am unable to test this in action, so if anyone wants to jump in...

The scripts themselfs are rather simple, the one constructing the
desktop (or rather the activity representing the default desktop) just
takes the first activity (which at the time of init is the plasma
default activity) and adds the microblogging plasmoid to the list of
widgets (plasma should take care of proper placement and all).
The panel constructor is of a more cruel kind. It removes the first
panel (again this is the plasma default at the time of init) and
constructs a completely new one with widgets and settings as desired.
