Review request for kdeconnect and Plasma.


Repository: plasma-workspace


Description
-------

[background explaination]
I was thinking yesterday about the problem KDE Connect has that it's not really usable in any non-Plasma workspace because the main interface is the plasmoid.
I understand that this won't solve all problems, but it can be a first approach for making plasmoids less of a niche solution, making it possible to let the solutions we have currently available elsewhere (it's especially interesting considering that most of our useful plasmoids live on the panel).
The end goal is that KDE Connect can provide a desktop file with NotShowIn=KDE that lauches the plasmoid in a status notifier.
[End of background explaination]

Now this introduces a --systray argument (can be changed, I couldn't find a better name) that sets up a status notifier item and when the window is closed it doesn't kill the process. It's quite straightforward, but needs polishing I guess.
