+    connect(this, SIGNAL(appletAdded(Plasma::Applet *, const QPointF &)),
+            this, SLOT(onAppletAdded(Applet *, const QPointF &)));

should be:

+    connect(this, SIGNAL(appletAdded(Plasma::Applet *, const QPointF &)),
+            this, SLOT(onAppletAdded(Plasma::Applet *, const QPointF &)));


and of course the declaration in the desktop.h header must match 
(Plasma::Applet*). signals/slots are actually indexed by cstrings (that's what 
SIGNAL and SLOT do, in fact) and so it needs to be Plasma::Applet =)

np... as i said, i think we can put this version into svn with the 
understanding it'll migrate into a layout.

that way we can get your code into svn for others to test and so that it 
doesn't get lost if you or your computer does =)
