     label.text = 'This plasmoid will copy the text you enter below to the clipboard.'
     layout.add_item label

     layout.add_item button
     
     # The layout is done now comes the action:
     
     button.connect(SIGNAL(:clicked)) do
       Qt::Application.clipboard.text = line_edit.text
     end
     
     line_edit.connect(SIGNAL(:returnPressed)) do
