plasma-framework/applet.h
Marco Martin 41b82ff620 s patch makes the concept of maximum and minimum size of the panel
actually meaningful:
the idea is that an applet can change its own preferred size and ask its
containment if it can fullfill its wish on the size
so the panel tries to resize itself as it can in its maximum and minimum
size constraints.
at the moment only the taskbar uses this, also the systray could use it
(and in general all expanding applets)
it use a new signal in Plasma::Applet, called
sizeHintChanged(Qt::SizeHint)

* @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.
