/**
* @short The base Applet class
*
* Applet provides several important roles for add-ons widgets in Plasma.
*
* First, it is the base class for the plugin system and therefore is the
* interface to applets for host applications. It also handles the life time
* management of data engines (e.g. all data engines accessed via
* Applet::dataEngine(const QString&) are properly deref'd on Applet
* destruction), background painting (allowing for consistent and complex
* look and feel in just one line of code for applets), loading and starting
* of scripting support for each applet, providing access to the associated
* plasmoid package (if any) and access to configuration data.
*
* See techbase.kde.org for tutorial on writing Applets using this class.
