I think there is something wrong with your second link.  It isn't
working for me, at least.

There was also discussion of putting optional kwin plugins somewhere.
If that isn't what your second link is about, then it may be something
else that can go there.  There is also a possibility of putting
optional plasma applets there, perhaps.
