Review request for Plasma.


Summary
-------

this is the second of three patches I've finally persuaded reviewboard to accept.
it contains all my changes in shells/desktop/

The UI isn't perfect but I think it's good enough for people to figure out.
for more details see http://gitorious.org/plasma-mouse-plugins/kdebase-workspace-plasma/commits/gsoc and other branches. gsoc has the squashed commits, and master is just trunk with none of my changes.

known issues:
-I don't have an icon for the config page
-I'm not showing the icons of hte plugins (should we bother with icons for these plugins?)
-the plugin entries could be better separated; having them all one after the other on a plain grey background sucks
-the alignment isn't quite right; you can see one plugin with a longer description has smaller buttons. :/
-I don't really like having a popup for the plugins' own config, but I can't think of a nicer way to do it.
-that popup is Qt::WindowModal, which means it shouldn't interfere with plasma, but somehow tooltips don't work while it's up. I don't think many people will notice that, though ;)
-the code for the abou dialog is ugly copy&paste. after gsoc I'd like to fix the issue in kdelibs.
