the svn should be ok, but I can only see it tomorrow/ day after tomorrow
at the office (my internet connection back home is too unstable to do a
kdebase update...)

I think we should also test / ask the users about that. As you described
it: Isn't the recent apps behaviour rather amarok-like, while the other
filter more looks like supporting minicli behaviour? But before making
further plans, I should first get the current version and have a look at
it. That will take at least one or two more days...
