[PATCH] A KJob jobtracker that uses kuiserver, or falls back to dialogs.

The main problem here is that I feel that you are talking exclusively  
about "Separate Windows" vs. "kuisever PLASMOID". kuiserver is a  
standalone application, which will be executed by its own (auto start  
service) if it is requested by D-Bus.

This is an important bit, because the plasmoid is a matter of "or you  
have it, or you don't". But an application that will just pop up, is a  
different matter...

As I say, I will give more time to this issue and see how can I handle  
this. However, I think this won't be too hard.
