That is about how kates widgets are. It works very well in practice, it is 
possible to enable/disable plugins without loading their configuration 
widgets, and the description does a better job of explaining the 
purpose/capabilities of a plugin than the configuration widget (or it should 
be rewritten).

... and I talked to mETz about that on irc, I think this would be a nice and 
modern solution too.
