I think for batteries, we're doing that already (at least in Plasma 4 we
didn't add the battery plasmoid to the panel for desktop systems).
For notifications and storage devices, I quite like the idea. Maybe worth
a
try to hide them completely and gauge the user reaction? (I can imagine
nobody would miss it.)
one thing i would love, is to expand what we are doing with dbus activation
of plasmoids, even tough for things like "not having any removable storage
device attached" would require some more complex rules
I'd think that dbus-activated plasmoids don't need this, since they come and
go already (makes them essentially hidden).
For the devicenotifier, it has to stay, since it could be configured to show
non-removable devices as well, so the logic currently in there is fine, and we
can rely on the status.
For this case, to allow to configure this basic functionality we came up
with greying them out if the plasmoid is not configured to show
non-removable devices. This way it's clear that it currently does not
hold any information, however the configuration dialogue is still available.
