Webslice applet moved to kdereview

[Kenneth Christiansen]

Hi there,

Cool stuff. I don't know about the Plasma naming, but we are trying to
not call anything but base classes for *Widget.

Plasma widgets are by default GraphicsItems right? So what about
Plasma::WebSlice? and then call the QWidget for KWebSlide?

Just a suggestion :-)
