yes, have to use PlasmaCore.Types prefix, everything in plasma.h is available 
under there

in the systray having something not square breaks in many edge cases..
so makes me think that we should really introduce a new formfactor for square

the glitches inside the popup should be gone, but since is still X yes, it 
would behave pretty badly still :p
