[Panel-devel] question about plasma

[Daniel Bruegmann]

Hi,

I read the plasma website. Am I correct to think that plasma will 
eventually replace kwin, kicker and kdesktop? That's what it sounds 
like, but it doesn't look like it in the svn repository (trunk). Also, I 
read that Rusin said that there was going to be some dashboard support, 
but a grep -r dashboard * in kdebase/workspace didn't find anything.

About the Junior Job (wiki) "Improve the semantics of isMainPanel and 
isMenuBar in the extension manager by making it generic and providing a 
isSpecialPanel(const QString& panelType) that then queries the panel 
extension to discover if it is or is not that particular thing": 
Wouldn't there also have to be a const QWidget* panel parameter? I'm 
guessing that panelType should be compared to _extensionID of the 
ExtensionContainer class, and not of panel extension. Please correct me 
if I'm wrong.

Daniel
