I agree it does make sense and having it together with the krunner
sources removes the need to have my own copy of krunnerdialog. But it
can only be merged after we fix multiple action support in libplasma.
I'm working on it (I changed how QueryAction behaves now, it registers
and unregisters itself upon creation) but I'm kinda busy right now so
I won't have anything new to show until next week.

Yes I know. QuickSand is a separate process and can currently run at
the same time as krunner.
