D24011: Provide a telemetrics kcm module for Plasma

[Nathaniel Graham]

  After opening the KCM for the first time, the checkbox is checked. I thought we were going to make this opt-in? If so, it needs to be **unchecked** by default.
  
  For the message, I would phrase it like this:
  
  > We make Plasma for you. You can help us improve it by contributing information on how you use it. This allows us to focus on things that matter to you.
  > 
  > Contributing usage information is optional and entirely anonymous. It will not associate the data with any kind of unique identifier, and will never track the documents you open, the websites you visit, or any other kind of personal information.
  > 
  > When we say, "anonymous", we mean it! For more information, see https://kde.org/privacypolicy-apps.php
  
  In terms of the UI, I would lay it out like this:
  
    <introductory block of text>
    
    [] Send usage information
    
    Apps that collect information
          Plasma: [ Combo box ]
        Discover: [ Combo box ]
         Dolphin: [ Combo box ]
        Etc (this list should be automatically populated with each app that uses KUserFeedback)
  
  Also, the default item for each combobox shouldn't be "No statistics". If you've opted in, you clearly want to send some information.
  
  Finally, the text in the combobox needs to be much clearer, or we need to add clarifying labels somewhere. I don't know what the difference is between "Basic usage information" and "detailed usage information", for example. The fact that it doesn't say **specifically** what will be collected is disconcerting from a privacy point of view. I think we need to be really clear here about what's getting sent to boost confidence that we mean what we say and entice people to turn it on.

This isn't a regional setting. I'd put it at the top-level in the Personalization section, or else maybe make a new Privacy section and put it in there like Kai alluded to.
