yes there's probably some code that can go in libkipi but baby steps, I'd rather stick to one project for now than have to get into another code base/development process.

Discover is quite a complex window that gets shown to the user and it may not be clear that the user needs to click install and wait then close Discover and check the menu again.  The simple modal dialog of the other patch seems easier to users.
