Why does KRunner start loading plugins only after typing for the first time?

[Kai Uwe Broulik]

Hi,

when KRunner starts fresh, it will either have to load the plug-ins 
right away or when you first type. Either way won't give you the results 
any faster, would it? If any, it would delay the KRunner window itself 
appearing, making it even more likely your input would not go into KRunner.

If you're looking for a way to optimize KRunner I suggest you 
investigate how to make KRunner not wait for the StrutManager in 
Plasmashell (plasma-workspace/krunner/view.cpp) to reply before showing 
the main window :)

Cheers
Kai uwe
