it also needs the geometry of the applet, and while it will need some 
information from the containment, the API should be in Applet to prevent 
people having to do if (containment()) { containment()-> .... etc  in their 
code over and over to get popup positions. so i take back the "in plasma.cpp" 
part; probably put it in applet.cpp for fun and glory; this works since 
everything is an applet these days.

well, the icon stuff should all go into the icon Plasma::Widget, and the popup 
stuff probably only need a convenience method somewhere.
