I've now rebased my plasmaclient branch on top of the last beta. There were a 
few niggles to straighten out (my setter for the NetworkAccessManager doesn't 
work anymore, in return I now have KWallet integration via QKeyChain), it's 
fast and seems stable, so overall I'm very happy with it. :)

I've also fixed up the UI workflow and squashed a bunch of other bugs. 

Those who are running the Plasma client should be happy with this update, 
those who don't should feel encouraged to test it. :)

The buildsystem stuff and merging some of my patches is still on my TODO list.
