screensaver has its own containment as well. perhaps it should be:

plasma/
	[common|generic]/
	desktop/
	netbook/
	screensaver/

not much difference, but in this context "generic" means "not specific" and 
"common" means "used or shared by all". these components are really more 
"generic" than "common" i think.
