Right.

More likely a Tier 3 Solution.

Tier 3 since AFAIK the window system framework will end up being Tier 2.
Solution since it has a mandatory runtime dependency as part of its design 
(because of kactivitymanagerd, but also nepomuk).

Regarding the Tier, always keep in mind what's in the table is the *foreseen* 
level it'll end up in (until framework is marked done of course), if some of 
the dependencies end up Tier 1 for instance, or are simply cut it might end up 
lower in the stack.
