can someone explain in very brief terms what the
use of 'plasmoids'
is?
AFAIK if you remember SuperKaramba, Plasmoids are pretty much the same
concept with a completely different implementation.
Any KDE4 users, please correct me if I am wrong. :-)
hm, plasmoids, well...
they are just litte apps which live in the system tray, like the so called
mini-applications (kicker-applets) from kde 3.x/TDE.
they seem to be easier to develop than full-fledged c++ programs due to the use
of QML/javascript as their base.

ok, I'll have to boot up my kde4 (or reinstall it); I didn't at the
time have a sense that the plasmoids were tied to a 'system-tray' (I
take your word for this!) or maybe I'm confusing them with
'activities'.
thanks.
