Hi!
First of all, it's good to see people pushing owncloud (and
synchronization) in general in KDE, I think it's something really
needed. Kudos for that! :)

Now, I just wanted to say that it doesn't look like something it would
be on the system tray... maybe a KCM would be better? Or integrating
with Alex's WebAccounts?
