Hi Christian, after hearing that someone else was working on it, I left the 
development of that plasmoid; I didnt' want to step over Igor's work.
Anyway, by looking at the current kmix status, it's still missing the 
conversion to a full kded service: otherwise there will be two entries in the 
tray: the "old" kmix, and its plasmoid counterpart. We also need to extend its 
dbus interface and add a method to pop-up the full kmix gui: in that way, the 
plasmoid can show the user interface, allowing the end-user to configure kmix 
properly.
As soon as those changes will be peformed (if you agree with it of course, and 
if you want to implement the new kmix as a qml plasmoid), I'd be happy to 
continue what I did so far :)
