Comment 7 for bug 84717

attached effective code diff for easier review

Review of kdebase packaging bits:
- please include the bug number and a detailled description of the code changes into the changelog
- this adds a new function, thus this needs a shlibs bump

I do not have intimate knowledge of the code, but the code changes look sane, have been tested in Feisty, and only add new functions, thus existing software will not be affected when it breaks. Thus code patch is ok.
