Technical Advise for PlasmaQuick::ContainmentView [Latte]

[Michail Vourlakos]

Thank for the response Martin,

yes of course, but after my vacations in mid July, in case I manage to add
the reload() method for AppletQuickItem
I will send the patch in phabricator and assign you as reviewer to discuss
it :)

regards,
