Technical Advise for PlasmaQuick::ContainmentView [Latte]

[Michail Vourlakos]

Marco I played with this but I didnt have any success,

1. I added a reload() function in AppletQuickItem :

void AppletQuickItemPrivate::reload()
{
    auto oldQmlObject = qmlObject;
    s_rootObjects.remove(oldQmlObject->rootContext());
    init();
    oldQmlObject->deleteLater();
}

void AppletQuickItem::reload()
{
    d->reload();
    init();
}

2. In Latte::View this is called with:
void View::reloadSource()
{
         engine()->clearComponentCache();
         PlasmaQuick::AppletQuickItem *cai =
containment()->property("_plasma_graphicObject").value<PlasmaQuick::AppletQuickItem
*>();
        if (cai) {
            qDebug() << " CONTAINMENT GRAPHIC OBJECT RELOADING!!!";
            cai->reload();
        }
}

3. But [1]-[2] just empties the Latte::View with no visual results and
plenty of warnings from qml :
