lots of changes with this commit - on the plasma applet side:
+ the applet now handles mouse wheel events
* the applet itself sets its global global shortcut key
+ the applet itself has configuration interface for the text and flag options
* ported to the new KKeyboardLayout class
- no per-window or per-application keyboard layout
on the overall keyboard configuration:
* no KDED module required
+ keyboard layout descriptions (model, layout, variant, etc.) are actually translated
- no keyboard configuration will be shown when a keyboard is plugged-in (see bellow)
- keyboard layout options are not configurable, not via GUI interface anyway
the hotplug plasma data engine, device notifications and solid actions
have to be either reimplemented or extended to handle more device types
(currently the above mentioned handle only removable devices by default
such as cameras, not input devices such as keyboard)
overall - from reimplemented one thing to another and the keyboard
configuration is not done yet (adding and editing keyboard layout not
implemented yet) but in a working state
on a side note the changes here affect kvkbd as it uses D-Bus interface
for keyboard layout change that is no more and has to be ported or (most
likely) replaced with a handler for QEvent::RequestSoftwareInputPanel
event that shows a keyboard on demand
there is also the double-keyboard layout applet thing - applet for the
keyboard layout could be added and the daemon (KDED module) was showing
its own keyboard layout indicator automatically (by default)
the X11 keyboard bell options are next to useless btw - there is
KNotification::beep() for such things so the X11 bell options are
simply dropped
