~15kLOC current delta, 10K LOC of "real" delta once workspace and kdelibs 
branches get merged, and 250k LOC total (well, closer to 300K depending on 
what you count; but i'm being a little conservative in what i included there)

the 250k number is libplasma + runtime components relevant to libplasma + 
relevant kde-workspace libraries + generic plugins (dataengines, plasmoids). 
if i am more liberal and include components that "could be but maybe not" 
considered part of the shared workspace, it goes up closer to 300k.

the Plasma Desktop delta from the base 250-300K LOC is 25k LOC. 

the Plasma Netbook delta is 4.2K LOC. 

so Netbook is the smallest, Active is in the middle and Desktop has the most 
added to it on top of the share core bits. Desktop is so big because of things 
like kickoff, the tasks widget and the relative complexity of plasma-desktop 
itself (which will come down when we move all of that to QML).
