is not a method of corona, just a slot of desktopcorona.<br style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;" />
not proud of it at all, but that doesn't really belong to the base corona, but i think creating and showing the ui is a very shell thing..</p></pre>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">Also if it's only available on some shells, maybe you only want to add the action on those?</p></pre>

void configureRequested(Plasma::Applet <em style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;">applet); it may have a similar behaving signal appletAlternativesRequested(Applet</em>), it would make a nice symmetry (in this case the creation of the action may even go down in Applet).</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">about the action, yeah, would be nice to only have it on some shells, tough i can't add it from within the shell (since i would have to iterate all applets and add it when a containment appears) so i think it may have to stay there for all of them.</p></pre>

wonder if it's not giving it too much control tough</p></pre>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">A signal appletAdded(Applet*) might be more generic and still allow the same functionality. This could just be forwarding the signal that containment has anyway so not providing any new control, just making it easier for people to inject actions and alike.</p></pre>

soo, thinking about it i woul go for Containment::appletAlternativesRequested(Applet) that makes the same behavior used for config dialog creation</p></pre>

works together the branch mart/alternativesConfig of plasma-workspace and plsma-desktop.<br style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;" />

<em style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;"> the branch in framework is kinda screwed, too many merges, is probably better to push this diff as a single commit<br style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;" />
