Hi

> If you need the Dolphin version, use the "About Dolphin" item there.

This is not about getting the Dolphin Version! or any other KDE application's
version but about showing all system relevant versions in one place: Qt,
Plasma, KDE Frameworks, ... KDE Applications
Dolphin was a suggestion from where to retrieve the information for 'KDE
Applications' as it is the most common representative and should be always
installed.

Very much aware of that as already  mentioned. However, major distributions
(Debian, Ubuntu, OpenSuse, ...) that still comprise the big share in userbase
do keep the 'KDE Applications' at one common version and advertise that as I
showed with the link to the Kubuntu release announcements. So the solution is
intended for those distributions.

Fair enough and you have a point there that it is not Plasma's duty to add that
info but the distributions should add it if they think the 'KDE Applications'
they ship are homogeneous. I guess I'll take this suggestion to the
distributions' trackers instead.
