default enabled plugins

[Milian Wolff]

Hey there,

since I'll hopefully have soon the plugins imported into Quanta (waiting for 
Apakus help), I'll soon need/want a way to define a set of plugins that are 
enabled by default in Quanta or KDevelop.

There are a few that should not be enabled _by default_ in Quanta and vice 
versa. My current favorite way to handle that would be:

X-KDevelop-EnableByDefault=[yes|no|quanta,kdevelop,...]

yes == default == enabled in all KDevplatform apps on first start
no == disabled in all KDevplatform apps on first start

strlist: only enabled by default in apps with that name, as identified by the 
KAboutData of the KDevplatform application.

Of course this would mean that as soon as another KDevplatform app gets 
created the desktop files would need to be updated.

The alternative, to put the "what to enable" into the .cpp code is imo even 
more time intensive as it would need to be handled for each new plugin.

The only real working alternative could be to introduce a _sane_ set of plugin 
categories (didn't we wanted something like that for the plugin dialog 
anyways?) and then have the app itself decide which plugin categories to 
enable by default...

Input, Ideas?
