Thoughts about a better Quality Management process for Plasma

[Martin Gräßlin]

of course I have forgotten to mention one suggestion.

In KWin we added a totally awesome feature to get introspection on the running 
instance. If you have not seen it yet, just try:
qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin supportInformation

This significantly improved the time we spent on bug reports. Instead of 
asking the users what settings they use, what GPU they have and so on, we just 
ask them to paste the command into a command line and upload the result. The 
running instance does not lie. I'm not saying users lie, but very often they 
just don't know what they configured. Asking for kwinrc doesn't help due to 
cascades installed by the distro.

I think this would also be interesting for Plasma:
* which Plasmoids are running
* which containments are present
* what are the settings of each Plasmoid

Cheers
Martin
