[Nepomuk] _NEW_WM_CURRENT_URI

[Michal Hruby]

Hi Sebastian,

as long as there's a way to determine the uri of the active tab, I'm 
fine with it. Still for me some of the other properties seem redundant - 
if you have uri, you can use gio/kio (or a specialized service) to get 
mimetype and thumbnail. And it could also lead to inconsistencies - one 
app will make the thumbnail nice - add a frame or something, and another 
one will make it basic for the same uri. Isn't this inconsistency why 
we're trying to use icon names everywhere instead of bitmaps?

Also I'm not really sure what should be done after we agree here on the 
new property/-ies.
