i wonder if the kconfig backed version is really needed. we lose so much additional information without nepomuk and frameworks such as akonadi are also requiring nepomuk these days. it would make the code a lot simpler in places. there there is the topic of signals ... dbus signals suck majorly. they are broadcast to every application on the bus whether they care or not. might it be better if ActivityConsumer registered itself over dbus with the kded service which would then call async methods on these registered objects as needed? this is what we're doing with jobs, notifications and the system tray. it has signals for document association; what about other resources? hmm. am i reading this correctly that this kded service is only needed if nepomuk is not there, and that it serves as a cache-in-the-middle between nepomuk and the applications? this seems like a lot of overhead just to avoid requiring nepomuk for this set of functionality. -- Aaron J.
