Description Bernard Cafarelli gentoo-dev

Dead upstream (last website activity in 2010), search for new widgets does not work anymore, only a few pre-installed gadgets still work correctly, plasma-workspace does not work with it, does not work with current webkit-gtk

As a first step before removal, @kde, can your drop USE=google-gadgets from kde-base/plasma-workspace? Thanks

For the record, google-gadgets support has now been removed upstream too for KDE/4.11.
