This baby, at least the last kde-look.org version of it, is exercising dbus
and hald and plasma-desktop to significant percentage of CPU activity. This
indicates a big code problem because this adds to the overall daemon CPU glut
that can slow plasma and kde4 to a fast crawl. The kde4-supllied applet does
NOT have this problem.
I can look myself but am no expert (OK, time for more documentation as
plasma's own API and all these activities and delegates and such are making my
head swim--ok with anticipation!). If someone is reviewing this code, this
problem must be checked and solved as this is a major bug in my mind. I will
contact the author.
