In fact the runner thread will block; and since we limit ourselves to run only so \
many threads in krunner, this implies that a user running an older version of amarok \
will still experience long (~25s) freezes. if he launches enough queries  (just \
typing a long name is sufficient as we launch roughly as many queries as keystrokes \
(which is bad anyways) krunner won't have any thread slots available and will become \
useless, if not block the ui.

Is there any way to check for the version of amarok and avoid doing that query if it \
is <= the current release?

Thanks
