Interesting and I think it's a must-have for an IDE.

Why not use Plasma for that purpose?  And reading the current replies to your 
proposals everybody has a different idea of how his entry page should look 
like. With Plasma in kdelibs it should be pretty straight-forward to implement 
something like this. And I bet we could get help from a few Plasma wizards.

Think of the advantages:

- scriptable applets, distributable via Hot New Stuff network => sharable, 
extendable
- adapts to the look of the application/system (at least inside Amarok it 
does, not sure how hard this was)
- we are not reinventing the wheel
- wealth of existing applets to choose from, for example feed readers or 
similar

possibly many more

I think Plasma is born for that purpose.
