Hi Plasma World,
Kimpanel in plasma-addons is without maintainer for quite a long time,
since the author has some difficulty get access to internet due to his
job (He has let his friend leave a comment on blog of the kimtoy
author recently). So kimpanel has some really nasty bug and not fixed
for a long time.

Like this:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=229105
(I could report more bug, but since the first one didn't get fixed so ... )

So I rewrite kimpanel (Use the same dbus protocol), and use dataengine
for instead of direct dbus access. And I would like to maintain it in
the future.
Currently I put my code in github (
https://github.com/csslayer/kimpanel-rewrite ), and it's already has
the same feature as the old kimpanel, with all bug I found fixed, some
new feature. I hope I can push the new version into KDE 4.8.

Regards,
Xuetian
