    KDED refactoring Progress Update!

    [18:20] schestowitz[TR2]

    The past couple of weeks moved on to the other half of the editor work- the kded dialogs that pops up on NetworkManager's behalf - the secret prompt, the SIM PIN dialog, the mobile broadband wizard.

    [18:20] schestowitz[TR2]

    The Connection Editor isn't the only place libs/editor gets used. kded's network management module runs as NetworkManager's secret agent: whenever NetworkManager needs a password, a PIN, or a fresh mobile broadband connection, it asks the agent, and the agent has been popping up a QDialog ever since. PasswordDialog asks for Wi-Fi/PPP/VPN secrets, PinDialog unlocks a SIM, MobileConnectionWizard walks through [18:20] schestowitz[TR2] adding a GSM/CDMA connection when you plug in a modem or pair a Bluetooth phone for DUN. All three are widgets, and the VPN half of PasswordDialog reuses the same VpnUiPlugin-returning-a-QWidget mechanism the editor already moved off of.
