Then what about the applet that will be shipped in the next release? will it
replace this downloaded one again?

I think the applets downloaded from "get new stuff" go into ~/.kde/ which
precede the ones that are installed system-wide. so the one downloaded
by user might precede the one installed by the next release also. i'm not
sure about this though.

the master is open again, i suppose?
