this is the little part in plasma-framework for the applet alternatives chooser.
works together the branch mart/alternativesConfig of plasma-workspace and plsma-desktop.
for how it looks and why, see the vdg forum thread:
https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=285&t=122067&p=315919#p315919
still possible problems:
I'm not sure about using a new desktop file entry X-Plasma-Provides, maybe Categories could be enough, but it may produce many false positives as well

This reverts commit c38e6a204e66a2fca2f9f0606475731b5c6bf0d1.
This causes problems on the panel toolbox.
We were already trying to set a parent; however as it's a property of a QQuickItem
it only changes the visual parent; kdeclarative has a code path that if there's
a visual parent to skip the memory management; bug is probably there instead.
While profiling plasmashell memory usage with Vishesh we realized that most
of the usage came from loading the Background image repeatedly.
We traced it back to this change, where we were connecting to
wallpaperChanged before initializing it, so it would initialize it again,
loading the wallpaper twice. It's not that we were leaking the object,
AFAIK, but loading an image using QQuickImage already raises the memory
quite a bit.
This change alone reduces by 15% the memory usage of my plasmashell (with 2
screens, that makes it a bit worse, because there's 2 DesktopViews then).

restore the disconnect: sometimes appletRemovedForward gets executed after
aboutToQuit is emitted, but before closingDown returns true
this prevents configuration to be forgotten
the problem is that sometimes when QCoreApplication::aboutToQuit the containment is already deleted (the order is not really deterministic), therefore appletScript::applet() will hit an assert.
using a qpointer should solve it, its data being already 0ed in the cases the containment is already deleted at :aboutToquit time.
the disabled/invisible actions already have it as properties.
this fixes the add widgets action sometimes not being available
in the toolbox

sometimes on plasma start, other context events may be triggered
while the menu is in its exec(), byt the qqmlincubator.
if so, close the already existing menu.
