Or it'd require just building everything as one package as we've been doing before, which is the easiest way to avoid circular dependencies… Modularization keeps causing problems like this. FWIW, since we're planning to ship Plasma Active alongside Plasma Desktop in Fedora 17 (parts are already in Rawhide), we'll likely carry these patches anyway (if they get released as part of the Plasma Active patchset), though we are no fans of copied classes just to avoid circular dependencies (There ought to be a better solution!). I find it also quite funny that the very people complaining about distributions patching in features into their kdelibs are doing that very same thing as part of their Plasma Active distribution… Kevin Kofler
