Hi,
I took a quick look over the diffs and using search I could not find what I was looking so let me question you :)
Kickoff-C++ has context menus, used to add applications to favorites, clean history, and the feature I added "Uninstall applications" using PackageKit. From what I know about QML (not recent plasma API changed) there's no way to create top level windows to be used as a context menu, so I'm curious since you said it has feature parity how did you created this feature or that's still a missing thing?
Best

This could cause issues for the c++ menu launcher "simpleapplet"...I'm not using it but actually it doesn't even compile. Probably would be better to port it to qml as well...opinions?
