Hi,

this is the first public release of a KDE plasmoid for controlling rfkill 
devices from the desktop. The plasmoid is generic, so it can be used on any 
hardware for controlling any rfkill devices.

Current Features:
- show killswitch (rfkill) devices and their states, uses killswitch api 
through HAL
- checkbox to turn devices off/on
- checkbox disabled when hardware button has them disabled
- config dialog: selection of devices to show
- config dialog: change order of devices

Known Issues:
- layout issues (tested with KDE 4.2, Qt 4.4)

Installation from Sources
- you need to have devel packages installed for Qt and kdelibs
- call ./build.sh and ./install.sh 
- call ./test.sh to test the applet
- add the widget to plasma (search for „killswitch“)
