That already happens. They are only moved to the plugins folder - which
I forgot to git add. Silly me. I really should learn to do things a
little slower. In theory they should be still usable as they were
before.

Yeah. I had that idea too after writing that patch. The point is that
every ui currently has a <PACKAGE>.<CLASS> name. Here we could do two
things:

1. add a migration heuristic for every *.* name to the new names

2. force the plugins to use the old naming sheme, remove getUIClass()
method and split the name at the dot. 

I think 1 is a little bit ugly but on the other hand shorter ui names
are IMO much better. I'll leave that decision to you and come up with a
new (end hopefully complete and well encoded) patch.

Forget about the last patch for then ;)

Christoph
