do we really want to go down that road? or should we just given people the 
defvice notifier applet and make them start to make the transition to the 
brave new world? my concern is that this will end up duplicating a lot of 
code from the device notifier; it's really not very plasma in its approach 
and may well result in the device notifier not becoming what it could/should 
be on Planar/MediaCenter form factors.

what are the commonalities that need to be shared? i'm aware of the focus 
issues (dragging the icon drags the applet; this ends up imperfect as we have 
it unfortunately, btw, as it currently by passes any code we have in applet 
handle..) but what else?
