plasmoids are supposed to be at least a bit sandboxed and not supposed to 
shareglobal statics or stuff like that.

on the other hand dataengines have usually only one instance for each, 
regardless how many plasmoids are using them

as usual what should be done is to step back and look exactly what you want to 
do, what your final result in terms of functionality should be, rather than 
starting from a possible solution
