Hi,

I have been working for Canonical on DBusMenu, which is a way for
applications using KStatusNotifierItem (KSNI) to pass their KSNI menus
over dbus, leaving the task of displaying this menu to the workspace.
This ensures a more consistent experience on the desktop.

You can learn more about DBusMenu here:

This work is available on Gitorious (I started it as a work branch on
kdesvn, but felt it would be difficult to kept in sync with the rest of
the codebase) and can be found here:

http://www.gitorious.org/dbusmenu

It is expected to be merged in trunk for KDE SC 4.5.

One of the drawbacks of DBusMenu however is that one can't embed widgets
inside menu items anymore. This is a problem for Kopete because it
embeds a quite complex widget to edit status in its menu. I would like
to turn this widget into a dialog. Would you be OK with this change?

Aurélien
