Punting ATM as I'm dealing with another live-git bug (klipper popup 
throwing plasmashell into and endless loop and crash, restarting 
plasmshell only loops/crashes again, going to try clearing klipper 
history...).  In the mean time...

I saw that go into git (I run live-git kde and follow many of the 
component git logs) and IIRC yes, there's an option for it, but I've got 
my hands full ATM and can't go looking...  Will try to post a followup in 
a few minutes to a few days, depending on how badly my current bug 
continues to bite.
