is something that could work if is publicised enough, because is not obvious, 
but when learned makes sense.

in my mind this idea gone in those 6 steps:
1) wtf?
2)WTF?
3)oh..
4)...
5)oh.. cool
6)OMG, that's so cool O.o

can it repeat those steps trough users mind as well? don't know, but is worth 
trying.



this gets back to a technical issue of slc..
do we want to massively introduce its ui before frameworks?

if so, perhaps the kparts patch in kdelibs really needs to go in the 4.8 
branch?
