hmm. I don't have as many notes as I thought I had.
basically the idea is, when an applet is dragged out of the containment it's in, we \
make a little floating corona, move the applet there, make that follow the mouse, \
move the applet back to a desktop containment when we mouse over one, etc...

03:46 < fredrikh> Chani: you have to create a borderless toplevel argb window, render \
the plasmoid into it, and thenmove the window when the cursor moves

03:55 < aseigo> Chani: should be easy enough by creating a Plasma::View and putting \
the item in it ... only trick ismoving the item on the scene somewhere that isn't \
visible via the other views... otherwise, it's much like plasmoidviewer 03:55 < \
aseigo> Chani: hm.. actually 03:55 < aseigo> Chani: you could even just move it to a \
whole new Corona for that matter until drop 03:55 < aseigo> a little heavy, but \
shouldn't be too bad

03:56 < aseigo> of course, on drop fail it would need to return to it's original home

04:12 < Chani> aseigo: what worries me most is whether events will be reliable enough \
for me to know when to move the applet between the desktop and its own little floaty \
thing. do you think that might be a pain like knowing when to draw applethandles is?

04:13 < Chani> oh, and if it's rotated and composit is off it'll be surrounded by an \
ugly black box, won't it?

04:14 < fredrikh> Chani: you could perhaps work around that by setting a mask on \
window

04:17 < ruphy> Chani: btw, ask pinheiro about the visual feedback... I know it, but \
he's the most appropriate to explain it \
