[rekonq] Re : KRunner

[Jon de Andrés Frías]

Hi!

I've been working a bit in the "runner bar", it's not a good job yet, but i 
can show you some screenshots with a urlbar using runners to populate the 
combobox. http://picasaweb.google.es/jondeandres/Rekonq#

Actually there are some problems:

1. There are sometimes some duplicate results, i know how to fix this, so there 
should not be a problem

2. The way to get the url could change in each runner. As you see in a 
screenshot, for the web shortcuts runner the data is a template of the final 
url.

3. The run() method that all runners have is not useful cause the runner 
launches the application associated with it, konqueror, dolphin, etc...

4. The history runner of konqueror is not as good as it should be. Konqueror 
seems to have two histories ~/.kde/share/config/konq_history and 
~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/konq_history. The first one i think is only the 
typed history in the urlbar, it doesn't store the title of the web site or the 
favicon. However the second one saves this info too. The actual runner only 
searches in the "light" history so in the screenshots you cannot see the title 
of the site, as it happens in krunner.

I know this is too far of the idea you have but i can work on it much more. 
I'll push the changes in my branch in gitorious if you'd like to review some 
code and advise me ;-).

Thanks everybody and sorr for my english.

Regards.
