I would still love to get kephal in... I've hacking on it a little more and it 
is now in a state where:
- it's a kded-module
- it defaults to "external" configuration now, that is, it wont mess with 
existing layouts unless specifically told to
- it uses namespace Kephal and ::self()'s instead of kephal and ::instance()'s
- i dont really see anything big which would be a blocker

So... Should we put it in 4.2?? If so, what do i need to do??
