But I am not on the most recent workspace release. Being a kde-er who has all the semantic-desktop stuff possible turned off at compile time (gentoo/kde used to support that, but don't any more altho kde continues to do so, so I created my own ebuild patches based on the diffs when gentoo/kde dropped the support, and I continue to apply and update the patches as necessary), I can speak to this angle... One of the (gentoo ebuild, not upstream sources) patches I'm carrying, meaning it's a build-time option in the upstream sources, is for libplasmaclock. Taking a look at that patch, it simply adds "-DWITH- KdepimLibs=OFF" to the build-time cmake arguments. So there is some sort of optional integration between the clock and kdepim. I believe it has to do with the calendar displaying holidays, as with that option off I lost the holidays display. The calendar still works, but the right side, which would normally display holiday information (and I guess scheduling information if you are using that functionality in kdepim; I never did), always displays "no events". So there's some indirect relationship with indexing, anyway, since akonadi depends on various bits of the semantic-desktop being on, and kdepimlibs depends on akoandi, and the clock, or more accurately, the calander, optionally pulls in kdepimlibs in ordered to display holiday and scheduler information. But with the possible exception of indexed scheduler information (which I'd not know about as I never used that kdepim functionality even when I had nepomuk, akonadi and parts of kdepim installed), I don't believe there's a DIRECT indexing dependency. And there's definitely a compile-time option to disable that functionality altogether, altho that's not going to do the majority of users stuck on binary distros much good. But John's "The clock sounds like someone thinking wouldn't it be nice to use..." observation is right on! That appears to be EXACTLY what happened! Thankfully, it's something users who do their own building can still turn off, as I've done here, with my gentoo ebuild patches. Having the holiday information available on the calendar /was/ a nice feature, but it's not worth dragging in the kdepim dependency, which in turn drags in the akonadi and other semantic-desktop dependencies, to get. At least it's not worth it to me! -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master."
