"Dear $DEITY, please do not bring the plague of tabs to Plasma Active."

but yes, the workflow needs re-examining. we have 3 sets of tools at our 
disposal to achieve this and keep the Plasma Active design harmony:

* column based categorized lists (Add Ons, News, Settings)
* side drawers (Files, okular active)
* in-line UI (page stack and friends)

i don't think there will be a single silver bullet for all the ways dialogs 
and drawers are currently used in Kontact Touch, but mapping out the overall 
workflow using the above three approaches should be possible and result in 
improvements.
