if it's in kdebase-workspace, then other apps can't use it (skrooge, kontact).

if it's in kdebase-runtime, you can't subclass it (runtime is not a valid 
build time dep)

so if something like custom toolboxes and actions are needed, then we need to 
find a way to make those something that can be defined and provided by the 
host app at runtime.

we do already have Containment::setToolBox, and Applet::addAction happens to 
be public as well.

so it looks like we might already have all the pieces there.
