yeah, that is the main concern: avoid things that i will greaty repent in the 
future ;)
I'm now almost confortable with this, some other issues remain, like
layouts/widget bindings, happy to think this will be deprecated veery quickly, 
- but that is, seems the most acceptable transitional solution
- plasmoids are not sanboxed at all anymore: it is possible to import anyting 
from everybody (yes, a plasmoid could import kmail's pieces, both a great 
feature and a curse at the same time), including c++ plugis, -and- with 
absolute paths, but that has nothing we can do about it
