A small Plasma "questionnaire"

Hello, Plasma developers,

as one of the members of the "fearless band of wikiers", as Aaron put it, I'd 
like to start preparing the Plasma FAQ for updates on what will be coming on 
KDE 4.1 (it's already out of date). Since I can't run SVN trunk at the moment 
(my machine is too underpowered for the compiling), I'd like to know the 
status of some components so that I can already adjust the FAQ according to 
that.

 Just answer briefly to these statements if you work on the related matter, 
like this: 

- "Yes" (feature complete, or will be completed by 4.1 final)
- "Partial" (some of this will be in 4.1, some won't)
- "No" (4.2 or beyond material)

1. ZUI related stuff - containment switching, add/removal of activities
2. Alternative menu systems: Lancelot and Raptor
3. Panel operations such as resizing, removing, auto-hiding
4. Drag&drop applets from "desktop" containment to panel(s)
5. Moving of applets on panel
6. OSX widget support
7. GUI for theme support/switch

That's all I can think of now. Should you have shown Plasma to someone and got 
common questions that aren't in the FAQ, let me know. The idea would be to 
have at least a rough version ready for 4.1: it would be useful even with no 
usage documentation.

Thanks for the answers, and happy hacking!
