not sure using a status bar item is the best thing long term. that's pretty intrusive for something that's a one time learning issue.

the big issue here is that people are certainly not used to seeing "colletions of things" as being equivalent to "collections of interactive widgets". that's understandable: up until now (the last year or three), there's always been this clear cut line between "this is a widget" and "this is a pretty picture". they have traditionally been treated very differently.

the new world of UIs are not like that however (krunner/plasma is hardly the first or last example of this, of course)

it'll take some learning, which'll make for a fun next few years as people transition to the subtle shifts in UIs.

some way to introduce these changes will likely be needed, but perhaps not embedded right within each app's UI itself.

in the meantime, is it cool to close this wish as it actually is implemented?
