because we may want to swap them out for others ones in the future. other downstream compilations may as well. > one to > display text, one to display pictures and one to display web should be > fine. if we implement something that lets us say "which display text", "which display pictures" then we're a long way towards offering this. saying "load the applets called notes" isn't a good long term strategy, though. so whether or not there are a "base set" made available or not, we need to allow applications to reference them without relying on specific details like the names of the actual installed widgets. to be clear: i don't want to have to go changing code in N different applications just because we swap out "notes" for "org.kde.plasma.notetaker" or whatever. > Well for that matter I will need to have the newspaper container available > too, if I can't rely on having it installed I'm screwed. we've already committed to that, but it will be an implementation detail hidden in the KPart. it should not be relied on always being there: we may change it out for a different implementation in the future, e.g. another reason to use the KPart which hides these things. -- Aaron J.
