my concern is that this won't work in all cases.

i bet (translation: haven't tested, but judging from the code) that if you 
took an iconified popup applet from the panel and drag it to the desktop where 
it "unfolds" the applet won't update.

you can work around that by watching for FormFactor changes, but even then 
there is no actual guarantee that FormFactor is tied to a popup behaviour. 
that's just how plasma-desktop currently works.
