I totaly agree.
Plugins are, by definition, optional!

I like KDE (Konquy, Kopete...) comming with all (or most) plugins by
default, because I even don't have to download them (compared to
firefox, which I should retreive all plugins I use after all
installations I do).
Without packaging them with the app, I don't think I would have
downloaded kopete plugins.
Nor Konquy ones.

So, Kopete does the things great: they are desabled by default.

I've read somewhere (perhapse here or on kde-usability) that KDE HEAD
have a "Configure Plugins..." menu entry.
Can anybody confirm, and say what there is in this dialog?
Can they be disabled?
If yes, are they already turned off by default?
If not, they should (if nobody complain, but I don't think so).

I remember the last most intrusive plugin was Googlebar: I've "brutaly"
removed the files to get ride of this pixels consuming bar.
Some other peoples would like it, and like the fact it's included in KDE
vanilla. But let peoples choose.
