A minimal test case Plasma Widget

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

I have tried to create a Python based PopupApplet for the last ~6 months to no
avail.
I have attached a minimal test case.
When added to the panel it shows up fine with the correct icon. When added to
the desktop it also works as supposed and shows the correct QGraphicsWidget.
The peculiar thing is that if I first add it to the desktop and then drag it to
the panel it works as expected and the QGraphicsWidget pops up when you click
on the icon.
It's like some signal/slot doesn't get connected or whatever.
This is the wish I get the most from the users of my Plasmoids and I have tried
everything I can think of to get it to work, I have read the source code for
the libraries and for the bindings and I have asked on the kde-bindings and
plasma-devel mailing lists.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Install the attached plasmoid package. Add the "Python PopupApplet" Widget to
the panel. Click on the icon.

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
The QGraphicsWidget should pop up.

When first added to the desktop and the dragged to the panel it works OK.
