The GLApplet seems to be unmaintained and is nowhere used in KDE (see \
http://lxr.kde.org/ident?i=GLApplet ). There was once one demo applet using it, but \
it has vanished.

GLApplet uses OpenGL only for glClear before passing the QPainter to the Plasmoid. I \
think we could just remove the background clearing and require it from the applet and \
drop the link to OpenGL completely.

Another thing is that given that it is just not used adding the complete GLES \
detection and building to Plasma does not make sense. It's probably better just to \
add a cmake option to disable building of the plasma applet (maybe using the mobile \
profile for that?).

The CMake stuff to find GLES is unfortunately not in a state to be included in \
kdelibs. I contacted build system some time ago and they gave me a nice list of \
things which need to be improved and it's still on my TODO stack :-(

It would be nice to have some input from Plasma devs here. Could you please add the \
Plasma group to the review?
