I hope that at the end of the week I have again a working computer setup, 
currently is just a mess, sorry.

BTW: Just commited the change to the network kio-slave to use Cagibi for SC 
4.5.

For the current Solid UPnP backend I could commit the patch, too, but then I 
think the backend as a whole should be just disabled for SC 4.5, as the UPnP 
backend is of no use and just adds weight to all programs using Solid.

Would be glad if someone else could do the disabling (just comment out the 
proper lines in the libsolid CMakeLists.txt), as I have no working setup.

Cheers
Friedrich
