i think that's everything; the only hitch is that june 1 was yesterday and 
that was the deadling for moving apps into modules. i'm cc'ing the release 
team to see if it is already to 'svn mv' it over now; worst case scenario is 
that it -doesn't- get ready in time, we keep kuickshow where it is and 
disable gwenview from the build.

the discussion to move gwenview into the build happened on k-c-d some time ago 
i believe, so that's not an issue.
