so ... you want us to write your init script for you ;P more seriously, i'm unclear as to what is missing in the documentation that makes this difficult to achieve. perhaps that's because i wrote it and so can't see what's missing or unclear. afaiu, what your script needs is: * a way to create a new containment with a given type * the ability to write a config value * the ability to get the size of a screen and/or containment * a way to create a new widget in your containment what is missing from that list? which items in that list are not well answered in the documentation? if it's a matter of having a tutorial on things to watch for when creating an init script (multiple screens, etc.) to augment the documentation, i think that's the sort of thing that others could write as a nice contribution. tbh: i've spent a lot of time in the last year writing and updating documentation for different areas of plasma. we've had some contributions, but not much, and i'm a little tired of doing things that i have zero personal need for that others could quite easily do. reading the desktop scripting documentation, experimenting a bit and putting together some simple examples and/or a "writing an init script" tutorial is completely within reach of virtually anyone with even moderate scripting experience and a little motivation. even editting the existing documentation to be clearer in places (i'm sure there are many improvements to be made to it) would be good. it's on a wiki, so it's completely editable. -- Aaron J.
