which part of "plasma" in "libplasma" exactly does not suggest that it
was put into kdelibs for the convenience of developing *plasma*
applications?

if it wasn't meant that way, then something went thoroughly wrong.
because as is, from a random non-plasma application's perspective, the
lib is more or less "librandomstuff" with very little useful features
and a lot of cruft. if the lib was meant for general use, then maybe a
little more thought ought have been put into segmenting it and possibly
merging it into existing libs in some useful ways.

specifically regarding linking libkworkspace against it: kworkspace in
general is a dumping ground for "random stuff that seemed to make sense
to centralize". a requisite for the acceptability of such an approach is
a small total size and only light or very generic dependencies. for my
taste, kdeui is already on the edge (drat, should have ensured that
core-only stuff is not merged with the ui stuff in the first place), but
a webkit dependency is beyond evil.
