You're right that until kde-workspace is fully ported we won't know for 
certain if anything is missing from plasma-frameworks. However, given that 
we're not starting from complete zero, we know that it has at least most of 
what we need, if not everything.

It is fine imho to port a few things in kde-workspace to test the new shell. 
That was the point of sebas' branch as far as I understood it. So porting the 
two wallpapers in there is not a bad idea. This should be easily mergable 
later on as those components really don't get much work anymore as they are 
pretty much "done".

Even porting a few of the plasmoids wouldn't be the worst of ideas. (I expect 
the icon one to be interesting ...) Not everything needs to be ported right 
now, however, especially not components that get frequent activity.

And what I really don't want to see is the whole repository turned upside down 
right now. Let's keep sebas' branch focused on a minimal set of ported 
components to test the new shell with.
