Of course, I'd be interested.
I can even try to help you, but my C++ skills may not be want you really need ! 

Anyway, to sum up what you propose with my own word:
to create an applet, you code some stuff (ie the applet) in python, then, through somme kind of wizard, create a DSO file that Kicker can read and understand. 
Drawback: 
-no more interactive testing (but one could think of some way to communicate throught dcop interface)
-10 Mb per panel applet at least. 

Good point:
- this may work
- just a wizard, and no configure/make/make install

Seems quit good to me !

BTW, I can't figure out why one could not, as you mention in an other post, create an embed python interpreter in an applet, that could wrap things up.  The DSO created by your wizard would then be interpreted by your interpreter applet , through some rules (get the init method from the Python-DSO librairy), and would work, of course ! 
But, since I know almost nothing about Kicker, I say some non-sense. 

Anyway, thanx for tooking time to think about it !
