you shouldn't need to configure much, if anything, i'd think?

what other deps are you facing?

i think the answer is pretty clear: the KPart needs to be somewhere both sets 
of apps an rely on it being. that's where this containment should also live.

if it is indeed to be the newspaper containment, then it goes there too.

katepart is completely and wholely available in kdelibs, and that's one 
example we could follow. however, i'd personally like to see this kpart end up 
in kdebase-workspace since it is a runtime dependency rather than a build time 
one. (everything is loaded dynamically via the plugin architecture.)

so, first, make ++sure that the newspaper containment is what you need. 
consult with Marco to ensure that any changes that might be needed will not 
interfere with its use in plasma-netbook.

if that results in the newspaper containment being "The One", then we'll move 
that containment to kdebase/runtime/plasma/containments/. we already have 
plasmapkg and the javascript Plasma::ScriptEngine in kdebase/runtime/plasma 
for the same reasons.
