Yeah, that was the idea. I would prefer this type of visualization
depending from a containment or biew type rather than just the applet, at
least in its "final" form (doesn't have to be an "hidden panel", it can be
a specific new thing in plasmashell)

Ah, also consider right now the desktop applet is used in the phone as well
(but the desktop/phone specific parts can be isolated in sprcific platform
specific files)
