since there is not real distinction between an applet that is always expanded and an applet in a popup that is open, i think it should be in the qml part that has actually the Dialog of the popupapplets that does a plasmoid.setStatus (and restoring the old one)
(that is plasma-desktop/desktoppackage/contents/applet/Compactapplet.qml)
