we've been using the project as a namespace for plasma .desktop files, and
 more recently using "org.kde." to prefix X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name= fields too.

this results in things like plasma-applet-foo.desktop, which is bound to not
conflict. i'm considering doing plasma-applet-org.kde.foo.desktop as well,
just be very safe (but then, we have the added issue of being open to all
kinds of third party addons ... koffice doesn't have that precise challenge
 to deal with.)

koffice-shape-org.koffice.chart.desktop would be a nice, descriptive name
compared to chartshape.desktop and guarantee no future clashes with third
 party add ons. or maybe that overkill. just a thought :)
