cool; can you share:

* an executive summary as to what coherence is/does for the introspective (a 
1-2 liner would be enough, but i want it from the horses mouth; i'm just the 
donkey in this one ;)

* an svn/git/$whatever URI that i could use to check out coherence from?

Solid is designed to be cross platform in the same fashion that Phonon is. 
unfortunately nobody's stepped up to write a backend for non-modern-linux. 

powerdevil is supposed to be an implementation detail hidden by Solid as well, 
apparently.

usually this can be worked around, and i'm assuming this involves code in 
kdebase/workspace. if so, please let me know when this happens. of plasma-
devel at kde.org for that matter.
