there isn't. imho, what you describe is a nice idea implemented with a rather horrible hack. screwing around with .desktop files is just very .. round about. i think it would make a lot more sense to have a _proper_ representation for such live icons. we have them for downloads now in file views (dolphin, etc) that use kjobs to track these things. that's not likely to work for this particular situation, but demonstrates that it is possible to do it "well". for plasma, i'd suggest that this is something more for an actual plasmoid rather than icon gimickery. -- Aaron J.
