wasn't thinking much at the whole layout rather to just some plasmoids taking 
data from a remote dataengine.
like a panel with icon launchers, that would take the launcher list from the 
teache pc and not being editable by the student.

for this, it would be needed a local plasmoid connection to a remote engine 
rather than the pair remote plasmoid/engine
