i gave it a try and seems to work quite well (didn't understand immediately if 
it was the new one or still the old, and that's really a good sign;)
in general, seems really well done ;)

just a couple of little annoyances i found while trying:

as aaron also noted, if the text is very large seems it can go out of 
boundaries (seen in http://wstaw.org/m/2012/10/15/plasma-desktopO28633.png), 
probably the popup should expand until a certain width in characters, and then 
elide the entries text if they are really too long.

also from the same shot, the highlight seems to be a little attached to the 
icons, it should be a bit bigger than the entries to allow margins (of 
framesvg.margins.left/.top etc)

last thing, when an entry is removed from the popup (with quit from context 
menu for instance) the dialog gets oddly resized
http://wstaw.org/m/2012/10/15/plasma-desktopr28633.png

it's in part due to old problems in the Dialog component (should use something 
different from what's in libplasma probably) but if it automatically moved to 
the new popupPosition() after resize the problem both in size and position 
should go away.

it should probably be a popupapplet again,  so this would be done for free, 
sounds a bit troublesome since would mean basically two root objects tough, 
hmm.... is probably something to attempt after is merged, if the resize issue 
can be fixed in another way
