I've got some small changes in mind for the extender api:

* in class Extender rename setExtenderAppearance to setAppearance.

* in class ExtenderItem rename moveBackToSource to returnToSource.

* not BIC but related to extender so I just mention it here:
   some applets will want a remove extender item action on extenders. For 
example notifications that don't provide actions. To make this easy I added a 
setter/getter to ExtenderItem locally: setDestroyActionVisibility(bool 
visible). Setting this to true shows a plasma close icon (the same X as applet 
handles) in the drag handle (the same place as the return to source icon, the 
pause, cancel actions in kuiserver applet etc). Only problem: I don't really 
like this name. Any better suggestions?

I already have these changes locally, so if it's ok with the rest of you, I'd 
like to commit before the movement to kdelibs.
