Hello Plasma world, I'm not quite familiar with plasmoid implementation, but I'd like to implement something in plasma with DBus. Actually I'm a input method developer, and I plan to rewrite/pick up kimpanel in kdeplasma-addons. Currently it seems that nobody maintains it anymore (I tried to communicate with the origin author but no reply serval month ago), and there is some known bug that really annoying and make it unusable...
I'm not going to change the protocol (current DBus interface) that it communicates with input method (Since that would requires other IM changes code and current protocol is good to work). I have learned that plasma has add QML support (And yes I already tries to write a simple plasmoid with QML), but for QML, seems it lacks direct DBus support and need some C++ wrapper for it. So dataengine comes into my head, but I found that dataengine might not suitable for this, because kimpanel get updates only when IM notifies it via DBus, so it doesn't need a interval to check. So I'd like to know that is the dataengine has some way to "push" the changes to plasmoid? Or for such dbus application, is the QtDBus and C++ the only choice? (Sorry but I don't know anything of Python..).
