That's what I've come to the conclusion I'm going to need to do. This
"semantic desktop", for me, is a pile of rubbish. I don't need it and
don't want it, but the people at KDE apparently know better my needs
than I do so they have embedded this stuff so deep you can't untangle
it. It's just more gumpf that gets installed, for no other reason than a
developers ego trip.
Thanks for the comments,
