 From design point view this is not what I want(I can not change the 
visibility state or the thickness value, maximumLength, minimumLength etc.)

I would like something much cleaner, so I will fight by providing my own 
executable to do the magic...

What is missing from plasmashell according to my tests in order to 
provide a unified experience are the following:


 1. plasmashell immutable changed signal
 2. toggle plasmashell immutable state
 3. toggle plasmashell widgets explorer appearance

Martin, if I send patches for the above to be included in the qdbus 
interface do you think they will accepted or is it a design decision to 
not expose them through dbus?

regards,

michail
