It's Plasma::PopupApplet:
- Shouldn't popup applet take care of initial resize?
- How does it not work on panel (works for me)?

It already has several macros (shown only in tooltip though):
exec(program) - Execute command and get output.
e.g. %{exec(sh myscript.sh)}
file - Insert file contents (Supports kio slaves)
time - Current time.
date - Current date.
password(character count, character set) - Random password. 
Character set: 
a = lowercase letters
A = upper case letters
0 = numbers
# = symbols
e.g. %{password(12, aA0)}

Is this what you meant?

If I have understood correctly Weather Applet is getting new config dialog 
soon. LCD weather could use the same dialog (current is also from Weather 
Applet).

ok. Icon could be lcd showing temperature and full applet for popup.
