Review request for Plasma, Aaron J. Seigo, Christian Esken, Marco Martin, and Igor Poboiko.


Changes
-------

Explicitly call DBus to show KMix user interface.


Repository: kmix


Description (updated)
-------

KMix qml applet.
As you can see from the screenshot, the applet is pretty much functional: you can display all the controls available, change its orientation, and decide to whether show all of them or just the Master Control, and refresh its status when new controls are added/removed/updated (such as Amarok current playing track). See screenshots below :)
Differences from the old kmix tray:
* no media player controls ( I never investigated how to get them, but honestly opening the audio applet to change/skip/pause audio track makes little sense to me ... if anyone wants this feature back, don't be shy and step in);
* the button used to select which Mixers are visible has been changed to open Phonon kcm page: since visible mixers are already configurable from KMix app, having a button to show KMix *and* a button to modify Mixers visibilty made little sense here too, so I preferred to give more visibility to Phonon kcm;

Known issues:
* there is still no way to get notified of mouse wheel events over the popupIcon, so it is not possible to scroll over to increase/decrease the master control volume;
* no scroll events over the sliders too;
* if you want to use the applet you most likely will disable KMix tray icon but, if you do so, KMix will show its GUI at every login and you have to close it manually. This requires KMix to be patched. Furthermore, if you click "KMix Setup" button, KMix window will not restored anymore: this needs to be pathed as well.
* resize doesn't work properly.
