Ship it!


i think we may need to hook up the KWindowSystem signals in future so that while the krunner window is open and windows are coming and going or whatever that the changes are reflected immediately. that may be a completely uninteresting edge case, however, and this looks good as it is now. i think this should go in so we can get more people testing it and playing with it :)

> 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.
