PlasMate previewer

[Yuen Hoe Lim]

I know this is probably better discussed at #plasma but I haven't been
able to catch you >.< So I'll just ask offline for now.

I haven't been able to make any sense of most of the to-do's you
raised =( probably because, for some reason, I don't think I'm seeing
an overlay on the previewer at all, and you sounded (and the code
looks) as if there should be one. All I'm seeing when I run the
previewer (from both the tester and the plasmate shell itself) is an
applet on a wallpaper - no buttons or +s - and I'm not sure why =( If
you want I can send you a screenshot.

I apologize if I'm making any newbie RFM mistakes >.< I'll try to
catch you on #plasma again tomorrow.
