I think you're missing a Netbook/Laptop profile in-between Desktop and Tabl=
et.=20
Maybe even the two split up.

When I'm at home, I use my laptop as a desktop. Power is of no concern, and=
 I=20
even build code on it.

But when I'm travelling, I notice that the KDE environment sucks at power=20
consumption. I would even go as far as to say that power consumption is an=
=20
issue in any segment and applications shouldn't wake up unnecessarily, nor=
=20
send broadcasts on D-Bus unnecessarily.

Of import is the Netbook form factor: it's like the desktop, but on a small=
er=20
screen. So maybe it won't affect kdelibs, but the apps themselves that want=
 to=20
address this segment.

Please read src/corelib/xml/qxmlstream.h:
// These platforms do not support symbol moving but allow it to be duplicat=
ed:
//   Microsoft Windows (COFF PE executable format)
//      special case: Windows CE wasn't supported before 4.4.0

You can't move the symbols further down the dependency chain on Windows. Yo=
u=20
have to copy them.

Please address too the kded dependency issue along with the "klauncher-less=

KDE" mode.=20
