Plasmoids tutorial: https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma4

I Yahoo'ed "kde plasma plasmoid howto" and there's a 1 hour youtube tutorial 
by Aaron Seigo -- that might also be a good start.

I expect such a plasmoid -- if it's just a frame and two text labels -- to 
come in at under a hundred lines of QML + javascript; possibly the only 
challenge is to be able to call out to the shell to get the uname and svn 
info.
