Well, firstly, I'd apprecate if someone would have sent me an email telling me 
there was a review, noting this change happened very recently and while I've 
been in #Plasma on IRC.  I'd gladly have commented had I known.

Secondly, for '2.0' I want to revamp the layout, give it more a organic 
look/feel that QML offers, animations vs just porting it to how it looks now 
(assuming thats what this effort is doing)

I was hoping to start working on getting this QMLified as it happend just as 
my other job ended I was now able to once again contribute.

Thanks,
Shawn.
