I know this is not the proper place to be discussing bugs, but I am
seeing a worrying pattern of problems with GHNS since KDE 4.5.  As far
as I can tell, there are at least 4 GHNS implementations that are
currently broken.  The plasmoid GHNS system does not remember the
plasmoids you installed after a reboot, so the list of installed
widgets always remains empty.  Both the plasma theme and window
decoration theme do not remember updates, so if you apply an update,
close the GHNS dialog, then open it again the updates are still
listed.  The Dolphin service menu GHNS interface always fails during
installation.  There maybe other problems as well, but these are the
ones I have personally run into.
As I said, these problems have been around since at least KDE 4.5, and
are still around in KDE 4.6. I am not sure whether there is a single
problem that is causing random difficulties in multiple places, or
multiple different problems.  However, since these bugs are in
multiple different places, and the start seems to roughly coincide
with the adoption of the new GHNS system, I thought it was at least
possible that there is a pattern that isn't apparent looking at the
individual issues.
