    This is a table of plasmoids vs. security constraints. they need to be checked before release, because we can't actually force c++ code to follow them.

    the table's a bit ugly, but functional; if you're good with wiki syntax feel free to make it prettier. :)

    the meaning of cells in this table:

    • R: Required
    • O: Optional
    • U: Unused
    • 1: couldn't check (crash or similar)
    • 2: too much effort (like, non-applet class needs to access Applet::hasAuthorization)
    • 3: way too much effort (webkit, urgh)
    • 4: low priority (doesn't belong on screensaver)

    after checking a plasmoid+feature, X-Plasma-Requires-<feature> in the plasmoid's .desktop should be set to one of Required, Optional or Unused.

    • Required: the plasmoid cannot do without this feature
    • Unused: the plasmoid doesn't use this feature at all
    • Optional: it has made optional in the code using hasAuthorization() (see the comic or picture-frame for examples)

    tips on checking for features:

    • anything in the config dialog doesn't count
    • FileDialog can just be grepped for - I'm not aware of anything that a plasmoid is likely to use that could expose it indirectly.
    • LaunchApp can usually be checked by grepping for KRun. there are exceptions, though - battery uses KToolInvocation::kdeinitExec.
    • it's always good to play with the actual plasmoid a bit if you can't remember every single feature it has.

    TODO: a few of the 'required' entries for 4.4 could be made optional with a little work (weather, for example). we just don't really have the time.
