Review request for Plasma, Solid, KDE Usability, and Kai Uwe Broulik.


Changes
-------

+ use comboboxes instead of checkboxes
+ improved readability
+ added screenshot

Few questions:
- where do you want me to add icons? You mean to have each option in this format: [device_icon] device_name [ combobox ]? Problem is how to add the icon to the left side, because the text is passed separately in the list containing QPairs of QString and QWidget. I can add the icon to the QWidget, but it's still on the right side.
- probably better wording would be needed, but that's something we should discuss with usability guys
- do you want to have bluetooth optional? Distributions would have to build it with BT support anyway

Description
-------

This action adds an option to turn off wifi/wwan/bt once you switch profile (e.g you unplugg the power cable and start running on battery).

One more thing. Due to usage of NetworkManagerQt I had to add add_definitions(-DQT_NO_KEYWORDS) into CMakeLists.txt  like we do in plasma-nm to avoid compilation error (thanks to NetworkManager) and replace all keywords by their Qt equivalent (e.g signals ? Q_SIGNALS).

How it behaves:
1) Switching from "AC" profile to "battery" (or from "battery" to "low battery" which is the same situation):
   a) When the action is enabled in "AC" profile and options to turn off wifi/wwan/bt are enabled
      x) Switching to a profile where the action is enabled too and options are turned on ? will do nothing as they should be already turned off
      y) Switching to a profile where the action is enabled too but options are turned off ? will do nothing as the "battery" profile is more conservative and we have those devices disabled already in less conservative profile
      z) Switching to a profile where the action is disabled ? will do nothing as there is nothing to do
   b) When the action is enabled in "AC" profile and options to turn off wifi/wwan/bt are disabled
      ? this should behave according to the more conservative profile, if the options are enabled then all devices will be disabled too
   C) When the action is disabled in "AC" profile
      ? should behave as in the case 1-b
2) Switching from "battery" profile to "AC" profile (or from "low battery" to "battery" which is the same situation):
   a) When the action is enabled in "battery" profile and options to turn off wifi/wwan/bt are enabled
      x) Switching to a profile where the action is enabled too and options are turned on ? will do nothing as it's same setup
      y) Switching to a profile where the action is enabled too and options are turned off ? will turn on the wifi/wwan/bt
      z) Switching to a profile where the action is disabled ? will recover the previous state of the wifi/wwan/bt
   b) When the action is enabled in "battery" profile and options to turn off wifi/wwan/bt are disabled
      x) Switching to a profile where the action is enabled too and options are turned on ? will do nothing as the option in "battery" should be ignored in this case due to more conservative profile
      y) Switching to a profile where the action is enabled too and options are turned off ? will do nothing, same configuration
      z) Switching to a profile where the action is disabled ? will recover the previous state of the wifi/wwan/bt
   c) When the action is diabled in "battery" profile
      ? will just recover the previous state of the wifi/wwan/bt as there is nothing to change according to the new profile

Testing
-------

I did some basic testing like (un)plugging the power cable and checking whether it applied the correct configuration.


Thanks,
