I agree on pretty much all of your points. We've discussed the KRunner 
interface some time ago, and I think one of the conclusion was indeed that we 
need more space for text (the 10 characters is indeed not enough), and that we 
can make the KRunner window bigger.

Your mockups look very sensible. I like where it's going. The primary and 
secondary display is a good idea to display narrowing down the search. The 
integration of context items in the Akonadi example is nice.

For some of the items, commands seem to be exclusive (i.e. only one Runner at 
a time can "claim" the "email" option. That's not the case right now how 
runners work though. They all just throw matches into the pool.

We should all have a good look at KRunner during the sprint in February. I 
think your mockups are a good base for this.
