you can take a look in the metadata engine, where is checked for the nepomuk 
dbus service to come up. i did add a new function in the nepomuk api for that, 
but wasn't backported to 4.7 since was a bit invasive

here is strange that creating the activities with vacabulary::kext didn't 
help.

what i think it happens is the sparql query being generated with a non 
existent resource as the activity, in this case becomes a wildchar and the 
query matches with everything that has isrelated with something

ok, so something like the picture delegate should be done, it shows the mime 
icon until the preview is loaded


anyways, do we still try to make this work for pa1 or we go for the db copy?
