I think it's ready for every-day use, I'll make 1.0 release soon. The
only serious problem I know is that plasmoid is visible in
notification area even when there's no touchpad. A bit offtopic: don't
you know how could plasmoid remove itself from notification area?

Currently it's in one of "playground" repositories. It will be
installed by default with KUbuntu 14.04, it's included in Arch Linux
repositories now, for example. I didn't propose it to be included
anywhere at all, maybe that's the reason why it isn't in KDE SC.

Also, it's written for Qt 4/KDElibs 4, but AFAIK nothing new could be
added to KDE workspace 4 now.
New project will be based on Frameworks, and I plan to replace mouse KCM.
