I think it would be helpful if a plugin could specify whether it
supports unloading or not. KLibLoader for example checks for the
existance of a __kde_do_not_unload symbol. Maybe a QWidgetPlugin
approach could be a long the lines of this:

(modification of the already existing QWidgetPluginPrivate::canUnload
method)

bool QWidgetPluginPrivate::canUnload() const
{
    if ( !widgets.isEmpty() )
        return false;

    QVariant unload = plugin->property( "canUnloadPlugin" );
    if ( !unload.isValid() )
        return true;

    return unload.toBool();
}

Any comments from the Trolls? :-}
