Hi plasma people,

I was expecting some components to be available for KDE and indeed there
are. Sadly there is to much with roughly similar names which makes it really
inconvenient to find out which one i should or should not use..

You have (in kde-runtime/plasma/declarativeimports/):
- core (what is in there besides the background stuff?)
- draganddrop (uhh.. ?)
- graphicslayouts (what is this supposed to be?)
- graphicswidgets (So these are the Plasma:: widgets right? Sadly they are
currently broken and give me this error: "Type dump of C++ plugin failed.
Parse error: 7:5: Component defenition is missing a name binding" .. I would
like to use this one but it's not working. Could someone knowledgable about
that one fix it please?)
- plasmacomponents (These are the new components from GSoC right? But why do
they look so.. different then the Plasma:: components? These do work btw.)
- qtextracomponents (What is this?)

So we have - at the very least - 2 "component" plugins. graphicswidgets
and plasmacomponents, but which one am i supposed to use when re-creating
the plasma panel tool box? Right now i go for plasmacomponents since it's
working..

But can't we clean this stuff up a bit, remove what we don't need and just
have "components" for the rest? Then a nice wiki page that explains what's
all in the components.

Kind regards,
Mark
