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'.
