it uses the generic kde plugin selector, so this would require some work on 
that component in kdelibs (which isn't a showstopper, just means it needs to 
become a generic solution)

however, i'm not sure that the user should be concerned about which runner 
something comes from. it should just be "the set of features currently 
available"
