Review request for KDE Base Apps, KDE Runtime, Plasma, and Ivan Čukić.


Changes
-------

Replaced the "QTimer::singleShot" call, with "QMetaObject::invokeMethod(this, "realInit", Qt::QueuedConnection)" - works just fine :D


Description
-------

(follows discarded review: 104391)

The plugin adds global keyboard shortcuts for changing the activity.
Defaults start from Qt::MetaModifier + Qt::Key_F1.

Initially, this functionality was implemented (without correct results) using KActitivities::Controller.
Using DBus seems fine, just that... it forces kamd to start with 3-4 seconds delay - so it really needs modification/and i would like more guidance related to dbus :D.
Other than that, feedback is needed. 


This addresses bugs 265069 and 273467.

Used the default shortcuts to switch activities.
It works!
