Hi Aaron,

I am a developer of google gadgets for linux (GGL). I've read your blog post
about ggl. We are very interested in integrating GGL with plasma. Actually,
we have written some code which can let Google gadgets running as plasmoids.
These code implement a script engine and a package engine, almost as you
described in your blog.

After KDE's WoC integration, we decided to stop working on it till things
calm down. Now the first beta of KDE 4.1 was just out. I think it's the
right time to start it again. We'll make these code work again and then
release it to public.

We are looking forward to more cooperation with KDE's team.

BTW: I am a long time kde user. I have to say your guys are doing great.

Regards,

Tiger

Definitely make sense.

I just spent a few hours to make the old code work again and tried to adopt
WoC approach.

At first, I tried with following code in GglAppletScript :

    QGraphicsProxyWidget* proxy = new QGraphicsProxyWidget(applet_);
    proxy->setWidget(widget_);    // widget_ is QtViewWidget which shows a
google gadget view
    proxy->show();
    proxy->setParent(applet_);

And in GglAppletScript::paintInterface, I do nothing.

With this code, Google gadgets are shown outside plasmoid applets. So I
modified the above code as following:

    QGraphicsProxyWidget* proxy = new QGraphicsProxyWidget(applet_);
    proxy->setWidget(widget_);
    proxy->show();
    QGraphicsLinearLayout *layout = new QGraphicsLinearLayout(applet_);
    layout->setContentsMargins(0,0,0,0);
    layout->setSpacing(0);
    layout->addItem(proxy);
    applet_->setLayout(layout);

Then I got blank plasmoids. The QtViewWidget didn't show up at all. So can
you give me some hints about the right way to handle WoC within
AppletScript?
