At some point yesterday I had it working and I was going to commit, but then after some IRC consultation, 
we decided to "do something more visually appealing than that".  
You can check a screenshot here (until it lasts):  http://imagebin.ca/view/aKJVB7Ji.html

Krunner scrolling has been introduced quite recently, so it still has some rough edges, e.g. the absence of 
the scrollbar. 
I would very much like to be able to find a satisfactory solution for this issue; I'll follow this thread to see if there are 
interesting suggestions.
