Get ready from out-of-ignorance talking, but:
If we define the dbus interface, we could add the code that listens to
those kephal dbus messages in plasmaapp without having a direct
dependency on kephal? So that would not break anything in kdebase and
would not require forking plasmaapp.

I have a few setups I would be happy to test on!

Okay, I also have a concern about the UI, though not strictly about
the looks: I think the configuration should be accessible from system
settings, and from right clicking on the desktop (in addition to being
available as a plasmoid). I don't think most people will want to
always have the applet on their desktop (at least I wouldn't).
