Hi, David (Faure) mentioned he's been working to port the kcookiejar away from kded5 (maybe that has advantages on *n*x too?). Idem for the automatic sycoca regeneration, IIRC.
I've been running kded4 and now kded5 as part of a "fullest possible" build & install principle under MacPorts on OS X. That's more or less a prerequisite if you want cookie support but also support for certificate management in KDE(4) applications. I also see even less reason to run that daemon than to run a DBus daemon on "other platforms". It's a KDE application that provides background services to other KDE apps, and any platform specificity resides in the services it runs, not the daemon itself. It probably wouldn't even be very hard to think of other-platform-specific services that it might run, a bit like how the Baloo framework might provide an interface to Spotlight on OS X (or KWallet to the keychain). Anyway, taking stock of what else I have running I saw the "Network Status" service as probably the only other potentially relevant service. Is this what allows akonadi/KDE PIM to detect when network goes off and on line? Because that's a feature that does seem to work in KMail4 c.s. on OS X, and it's something I definitely wouldn't want to lose if and when I move to KF5 PIM.
