</div></div>I support David on this one. I think we have better ways to spend our<br>
development resources than to pick up some dead code and port it to QML.<br>
<br>
My favorite example is IconTasks which is a huge framework on how to build a<br>
tasks applet. It copies Unity way too much that it should be something we<br>
provide and I think our development resources are better spent making the<br>
default tasks applet work kick ass (note with that I do not mean that we<br>
should merge the bazillion of options from icon tasks.).<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
