there are three sets of changes in there: activitymanager, nepomuk and plasma.

the nepomuk one first, since that's the smallest: it's a patch to 
nepomuk/ontologies/kext.trig .. it's seems to be things for activitymanager. 
can these be packaged with activitymanager itself? or must it be part of the 
nepomuk runtime package? (i'm thinking of a possible resolution where nepomuk 
runtime is install first, and then activitymanager is..)

activitmanager: this should simply be moved into the kactivities module. the 
consensus from Platform 11 was that runtime components that are tightly 
coupled to a given library should travel with it in the same repository. i'm 
still only 80% convinced of this, but consensus overrules that ;) this 
resolves that issue cleanly, though it will create the awkward situation for 
using kactivities with kde-runtime 4.7 of a file in kde-runtime being 
overwritten by one in kactivities ... still, it's what we ought to do for the 
long term. we could perhaps, with packager approval, remove activitymanager 
from kde-runtime/4.7 and require the use of the kactivities repo instead.

the plasma changes look like they should simply be merged over.
