as i already said - they may work, but the code changes and the behaviour 
changes. The video you linked to was "Uploaded by montoya1411 on Jul 24, 2008" 
- lots of things changed since then. As we can see in this case - Plasma seems 
to be running "behind" the desktop as it assumes that it's the only shell and 
tries to be "the lowest window" on the screen.
