i think the problem is that KURIFilter is not well known :)

i took a look yesterday at using KURIFilter in the krunner plugin and the 
questions i eneded up with were:

* threading: is it safe to run KURIFilter outside the GUI thread? is it safe 
to have two KURIFilter classes in different threads making the same calls? 
even better, is it safe to use one KURIFilter class in multiple threads? (the 
latter isn't a requirement; the first two are)

* information for the user: the runner plugin advertises what it is capable 
of, e.g. "gg:<query> => Search on google for <query>". KURIFilter gives a list 
of plugins with QStringList pluginNames() const, but how do we go from that to 
a rich set of information (KPluginInfo or KService objects would be perfect)

* documentation: the filter types are strings; two are documented in the 
apidox and one has to know frm the name of them what they do (kshorturifilter 
and localdomainfilter). is there documentation on what kind of filters exist 
and what they do?

thanks.
