<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">an interesting idea, but the configuration values should not appear in the metadata.desktop file. it not only bloats up the # of keys we have, it doesn't scale to plasmoids with more/different configuration.
i think this would make more sense as a .desktop + a KConfigGroup (could even be in the same file?) that holds the complete default configuration that is then copied over after the applet is created.</pre>

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">I am making a DBusLauncher base plasmoid to see how far this can get. It faces one issue so far: How to make some entries in the [Configuration] group translatable? (provided by the configuration desktop file). Some data should be translated (as user facing strings) and some other must not be translated (as resources identifiers).</pre>

In Techbase an article describes a way to extract the wanted messages:
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Localization/i18n_Build_Systems#Translating_.desktop_Files
Also, KLocale seems to be the way to get the translated strings, if they exist in the language of interest.
Is there a better method?</pre>

<pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">There is some code duplication in that some plasmoids share very much of program logic but actually differ in just a setting. E.g. the recently made ShowActivityManager plasmoid, which just is a DBus call launcher. The Icon plasmoid is an example of this made right. I'd like to have more generic plasmoids. Even better, I'd like to have an easy way to configure them.
Let's see the code. config.patch shows a way to load a config metadata file and fill a designated plasmoid with the configuration data (metadata.desktop). We search for a X-Plasma-ConfigApplet property that defines the plasmoid to configure and load. Additional properties define the plasmoid settings. This allows us, for example, to easily provide access to any webservice without code duplication. </pre>
