QProperties
All Q_PROPERTY and Q_INVOKABLE will be removed from Applet, that is no more directly exposed in QML.

Configuration
We should have a single configuration object binded to qml (either created by autogenerated qml, a model or a property hash)
KConfigGroup config() const; KConfigGroup globalConfig() const; ConfigLoader *configScheme() const;
Topic: can this be made flexible enough to replace config read/write? Topic: will need a global version (for globalConfig()) Topic: should we use QML for config, if so: how?
virtual void save(KConfigGroup &group) const; virtual void restore(KConfigGroup &group); virtual void configChanged(); -> to signal virtual void saveState(KConfigGroup &config) const; SIGNAL void configNeedsSaving(); bool hasConfigurationInterface() const; void setHasConfigurationInterface(bool hasInterface); void setConfigurationRequired(bool needsConfiguring, const QString &reason = QString()); bool configurationRequired() const; virtual void showConfigurationInterface();
