3 is a good solution imho ... except that it will break people's installations 
who have kde-workspace but not kdeplasma-addons installed. so we can break 
this into two applets, but i don't think we can move the classic menu out just 
yet.

also, right now the "switch to classic menu" / "switch to kickoff" option in 
the context menu works by deleting the existing applet and creating a _new 
one_ of the new type. this pretty well sucks as it means settings get lost in 
what should be a setting-loss-less event.

it's really a horrible hack and i'd suggest getting rid of it. people can add 
the classic menu from the widget explorer like all the rest.

in fact, since we had a thread about the scripting stuff here already, we could 
easily add a "Classic KDE" panel script option that creates a panel just like 
in KDE 3. heck, it could even change the desktop use icons only. this would be 
rather trivial to make happen for 4.9 .. thoughts?
