The second in our series of periodical reviews of patches we include
to Plasma.

kubuntu_19_always_show_kickoff_subtext.diff, the subtexts in kickoff
sometimes show always and sometimes on mouse over, this makes that
consistent.  It's been discussed here before.

kubuntu_71_default_plasma_layout.diff has our changes to the default
layout.  We used to do this with a config file override but that was
unreliable.  It adds the microblog applet to the desktop (social from the start, all
the rage).  It adds quickaccess, showdesktop, networkmanagement and our indicatordisplay
applets to the panel.  The clock shows the date by default, because I
like to know what day it is.

kubuntu_91_plasma_autostart_condition.desktop is added so we can stop
plasma-desktop being run for netbook edition.  It would be good to
find a better way to select between plasma-desktop and plasma-netbook,
preferably as an X session at KDM.

kubuntu_94_netbook_runner.diff comes from the netbook people, I
believe it's in trunk.

kubuntu_101_brightness_fn_keys_and_osd.diff adds a brightness on
screen widget for brightness keys, it also needs patches to Qt and
kdelibs to work

c'est tout
