sounds pretty good and seems to work alright in practice.

what we will eventually want is to have some UI guidelines so that new pages 
end up looking like existing ones. we can always hope that devs will just 
follow what is already there, but experience says that is not a valid hope.

embedding would be nicest imho and should be possible by creating a component 
that is available from QML which has as its own property the config plugins to 
create?

this would then be very much like KCModule
