Cool!

So now that we're thinking of an api i have a question: about applets
grouping. Do we want it still outside of libplasma? If yes i'm ok with it,
but i'd really need some things in the api, the most important a PlasmaItem
or whatever, parent of Applet in the class hierarchy, with some common
things like config() and containment(). I would then make my AbstractGroup
subclass from that and it would avoid me a lot of duplicates function with
Applet* and AbsractGroup*.
