Actually, now that I'm trying to implement this, I suddenly realize why this approach wasn't possible. initExtenderItem is always called on the source applet, since that's the applet that knows how to initialize the thing. And this isn't necessary the same applet as the one instantiating the Extender. It might even be that the original applet isn't around anymore and is instantiated only temporarily just for instantiating extender item's widgets. So I think having initExtenderItem in applet is unavoidable (well, it could also be in extender but the requirement of having to implement an extender is not so nice) Regards, Rob Scheepmaker _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
