I meant to say that krunner might be stripped to just run applications
if that means that both milou and krunner can be included.
The functionality of krunner should just be that of a console line.
Only just a simple one line with the tab completion results below it.

What krunner currently is capable of is awesome, but hardly ever used.
I hardly ever use it and i bet lots of the people using KDE don't use
it for activities, baloo/nepomuk results or even as a calculator. It's
cool to have from a technical showcase point of view but in reality
it's just not used that way. If people even know it's there to begin
with.
