The easiest way to find out what is in the Ruby api is by using the
'rbqtapi' command line tool. For instance:

$ rbqtapi -rplasma_applet -s -p -mtext Plasma::TextEdit
String Plasma::TextEdit#text
Plasma::TextEdit#textChanged
Qt::GraphicsProxyWidget#contextMenuEvent(Qt::GraphicsSceneContextMenuEvent)
Qt::GraphicsItem#contextMenuEvent(Qt::GraphicsSceneContextMenuEvent)

Oops it has matched 'Context' as well, but I hope you get the idea.

The '-s' option means show the results in a 'ruby-like' format, the
'-p' option means look in the parent classes and the '-m' option takes
a regular expression to match.

To find out if there are any methods with 'plain' in their names you
could try ('-i' means a case insensitive match)::

$ rbqtapi -rplasma_applet -p -i -mplain Plasma::TextEdit

And it doesn't return anything..
