cool; right now we have all the pieces working, but the big benefit comes when 
we patch kparts .. and it shouldn't go into a release until the frameworks 5 
release as it is a (rather big) new feature.

there will still be some apps that will need to be individually patched 
because they do not use kparts which operate on files. that can happen right 
now using libkactivities from the kactivities repository. i'm thinking of 
applications like marble or kmail.

anyone interested in working on those things is welcome to do so, and we're 
happy to help with the libkactivities side, thought that's pretty trivial: you 
make a KResourceInstance and tell it what URLs / data the app is showing :)
