so ,as a conclusion, I want to try to do a very bare bone recap:
* there seems to be too many icons in the popup, especially some that don't
really do much
* completely hiding icons of statusnotifiers of applications gives problems,
because makes those applications unreachable for all intents and purposes
* however should be pretty safe to hide plasmoids: with a possible state more,
things like the device notifier can be completely hidden when empty
* an extra state for statusnotifiers may cause problems for unity and the two
gtk clients.
* completely hide vs an extra layer of show/collapse what's better?
* As a first action item, completely hide really empty plasmoids (it would be
up to the plasmoid logic to decide that with setting the proper state on
itself)
* Still open problem: less crowded popup, but still being able to access
applications that are accessible only by their systray icon
