this review is less about the actual code in this review and more about the design of the system monitor in general.

currently the main applet embeds the other applets; this obviously won't work in the QML2 world. so each of the small applets really needs to become an individual QML item that can be re-used in both individual applets and in combination with each other. to that end, my proposal is this:

* create a QML import that contains all of the monitors as individual QML items.
* create a stand-alone plasmoid that wraps those monitors
* design a way to allow the kind of scripting/control that we see in popular packages like conkie to allow re-use of these components; perhaps the best way to do this would be to provide a small designer tool that would let one define the order of components and what they should be showing which would then export a finished plasmoid implementing that design.
