Review request for Plasma.


Changes
-------

Support for window actions. By entering one of the following keywords an action can be performed on the matches:
 * activate: activate the window (default if there is no keyword)
 * close: close the window
 * min(imize): (un)minimize the window
 * max(imize): maximize/restore the window
 * fullscreen: toggle fullscreen
 * shade: (un)shade the window
 * keep above: toggle keep above
 * keep below: toggle keep below


Summary
-------

This runner lists the windows and virtual desktops. It allows to activate a selected window or switch to a selected desktop. The runner works in the following way:
 * input is matched on window name, class or role; matching windows are listed
 * input is matched on desktop name. Matching desktops are shown for switching to, all windows on matching desktops are listed.
 * keyword "desktop": lists all desktops (except current) if additional number is inserted the list is reduced to that desktop
 * keyword "window": lists all windows. Additional text will be used to restrict like in first case. Following sub queries to restrict search are possible:
   * name=: restrict on name
   * class=: restrict on window class
   * role=: restrict on window role
   * desktop=: restrict on desktop
  those subqueries can be combined in any order. Each input not containing a '=' will be interpreted as a name restriction if there is no explicit name restriction. In that case it's ignored. Example query: "window desktop=2 class=kmail role=composer" will list all open KMail composer windows on desktop 2.
