Ohh! Do never take that approach!
You can make that work for "some users" but you can't make that work
for the generic KDE user.

This would require you to make some logic to decide which applets end
up in the popup and which don't. That logic will work for those that
agree to the same logic and would expect it to be that way anyway. But
it won't work for those that have slightly different expectations.

Or that's my view on things..
