Yes, we should definitely try to get the Plasma stuff working.
But I think the plasma clocks aren't really suited to serve as a plasmoid 
example - they just became rather heavy. They depend on a shared library 
(libplasmaclock, which we had to translate as well) and together with all the 
configuration dialog stuff spread over plasmaclock and analog-clock this makes 
it a bad example, imho.
I think we should take something lighter to translate to C#, like the pastebin 
plasmoid from kdeplasma-addons.
Just as we're at it: how about moving all the examples out of kdebindings and 
into the new kde-examples branch or whatever it is?
