<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Just to recap why it was decided to make it start by the plasma shell and to actually remove the autostart file (part of Ivan's Gsoc last year):
krunner being present or not is something that depends from the shell ux, and one shell can decide to not have krunner, and even stopping it if it's already running (active, for instance)
(also, the only reason it actually made sense to split the system monitor for it, increasing overhead)
relying again on autostart files it forces krunner on every shell, having a process that may not be used at all.

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">I do not understand your comment about "having a process which may not be used at all". Without this patch, krunner will always be started.
Could you propose an alternate solution for the bug?
I can think of the following options -
1. We delegate this problem to the future when we actually get shells which do not want krunner, at that time maybe they can close it.
2. We modify the "Platform.Application" class to take a dbus-interface name, and check it is registered. Only then should it start the process.
I think (1) is a more desirable solution right now, but that's just me. </pre>

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">IIRC krunner installs a dbus service and can be started by the dbus daemon - use this as solution (3). If we just ask dbus to start krunner when needed it won't be started again when it's already running.</pre>

Krunner is automatically started via an autostart file. We do not need plasma to
start it as well. Without this patch, krunner comes into focus each time
plasma is restarted since krunner is already running and executing it
then gives it focus.
BUG: 336002
This patch depends on another patch in plasma-workspace/krunner which adds the krunner.desktop file -
