Hi,
I think Plasmoids should be called plasmoids by the KDE-Desktop, too, because:
- Everybody call them Plasmoids
- If you call them "widgets", people will ask:"Widgets? The ones from Opera, Vista, SuperKaramba, MacOS or KDE?" but if you call them plasmoids, everyone knows what I mean with saying that.
- Plasmoids aren't widgets! Widgets can only show something (Feeds...) or operate in a small range. Plasmoids can show me Things from the Internet, the local Computer, they show the open Applications, Tray Icons and let me start them ("Taskbar"), they show me if I've plugged in an new Device and so on.
- At last, It's a thing of prestige, to have something where at least the name isn't used by anyone else.
I hope very much you'll corrigize the Name.
And sorry for my bad english grammar...
