plasma-desktop does not need to restart. what is needed is to invoke 
libplasmagenericshell's ScriptEngine::evaluateScript(). this is not exposed to 
Containments, however .. and for good reasons :)

this should not use the full desktop scripting for this. instead, the 
scripting from kde-runtime/plasma/kpart/scripting/ should be taken, adapted as 
needed, and used from within the Classroom containment directly. note that it 
too includes a ScriptEngine class.

the code flow would then end up looking something like the following 
pseudocode:

script := loadScriptFromNetwork
if script is not empty
	delete all widgets
	ScriptEngine evaluateScript script
