for accuracy's sake: there was a 3rd party kicker applet that came, went, came 
back again and.. not sure where it ended up .. but it loaded python scripts 
that would run as applets. =) it wasn't widely distributed or used, wasn't 
part of the core, and iirc was a wee bit of a hack in how it accomplished it 
(kicker wasn't overly scripting friendly by default). panel extensions and 
other kicker plugins were not similarly python enabled, however.

kross came out of the koffice project's work on providing such scripting 
support.

plasma already has this kind of support for widgets, containments, engines and 
runners. any language for which a ScriptEngine exists is supported. currently 
that's ECMAScript (via QScript), html/css/javascript (via webkit) and python 
(hopefully ruby as well, once the threading crash gets worked out).
