I want to alter the behavior of a plasmoid. Is it OK to do this?
Conclusion
It's very easy to create a new plasmoid based on the one you want to alter. This approach then means that the modified and the original plasmoid can be compared easily and you are not limited by the authors of the original plasmoid's vision. The new plasmoid should be created in the playground area of SVN.
