none of these are critical feature additions. they elevate the usability of 
libplasma and are valuable, but we've lived just fine without these features 
to date.

if we were working on and releasing a 4.8 version of kdelibs, our users would 
have to wait for these features until 4.8 was released (e.g. in january) and 
distributions made packages available to their users (often much later than 
that). 

instead, they'll have to wait until frameworks is ready. and this code can, 
and should, go into libplasma in the frameworks branch today.
