Netbook Search and Launch, package managers and distributions

[Marco Martin]

Hi all,
I've ust added a new micro feature in the Plasma Search and Launch 
containment: a new "add applications" button in the toolbox. (maybe should 
even replace add widgets button, with the possibility to include widgets even 
be axed since doesn't make too much sense...) This is just a little nice 
detail, buuut...

On the distributions side, some attention has to be paid: it searches for the 
configured desktop file name of the package manager, and it displays the icon 
only if that desktop file is present and valid.
right now is configured in the sal containment.
so, for distribution to customize two things can be made:
a) make it possible to change this via javascript: (probably exposing a 
qproperty of the name would be enough)
b) use a global config file, maybe even kdeglobals, so the distribution would 
have to change this at a lower level.

i could have added this to KToolInvocation and was the first intention: 
however, if libshaman is coming along and will be merged reasonably soon, it 
will make such things really easy and would also derecate that public api 
function, so that's why i'm not so sure about adding it right now.

Cheers,
Marco Martin
