I used a mouse click event, wrote my own implementation for that function. 
This is not the "qt" way but no suitable signals are provided. This is what I 
did (I am not saying this is a preferred way, simply had no other):

void MyApplet::mousePressEvent ( QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent *ev ) {
    if  ( signalsBlocked() ) {
        Plasma::Applet::mousePressEvent( ev );
        return;
    }

    if  ( ev->button() == Qt::LeftButton )
        proc_click();
    else
        Plasma::Applet::mousePressEvent( ev );
}

The first if (I believe) prevents the UI from exercising while the applet is 
being moved about.

Right-clicks are handled by the applet's methods, i.e. to place the 
context/config menu. There are also hover functions available. No signals.
