Possible complication - if I open the new resource and try to search
for a message, it tells me that it can't search because the
Nepomuk-something isn't available, and that I can activate it in
SystemSettings.  It is activated, and searching other resources works
fine, so does this mean that the read-only part is interfering with
searching?  Not a huge deal, if that's so, because I can always backup
the backup :-) then remove the read-only bit.
