Heard a lot of user feedback (complaints, requests) for being able to remove 
konqueror, and I've implemented a first step in that direction beginning 
with kde-baseapps-4.12.0-2 now in rawhide, and f19/f20 kde-unstable repos.

There continue to be kde-baseapps (metapackage), kde-baseapps-libs 
(metapackage), kde-baseapps-devel.  In addition to those we have new 
subpackages:
kde-baseapps-common.noarch (includes licenses mostly)
dolphin
kde-plasma-folderview
kdepasswd
kdialog
keditbookmarks
kfind
konqueror
libkonq

this ended up being more work that I anticipated, ended up spending a lot of 
yesterday working on it, but am happy with the result.

Please test, and offer feedback, especially regarding subpackage 
interdependencies.

Next steps include adding some/all of these to rawhide comps, and adjusting 
dependencies in other packages that currently use stuff like:
Requires: kde-baseapps
