Bug Description

Binary package hint: konversation

With the messaging indicator, konversation fails to propagate a change when the user is just switching back to the main application window.

Bug symptom: there are no more "red" tabs in KDE indicating unread messages, but still the messaging indicator is still enabled

Steps to reproduce:
- ask some to ping you, then switch to another application to unfocus the konversation window
- upon receiving the ping, konversation lits up the indicator
- switch back (alt-tab) to the konversation window

What should happen:
- either on switching back, konversation should update the indicator (and also its tabs, but I don't think it considers a channel is "read" until the user does something or stays for a while)
- alternatively (easier to implement) konversation should update the indicator, as soon as it does update its tabs statuses

This patch should fix the bug. It aggregates all indicator patches into one, so it should replace the 3 kubuntu indicator patches in the package.
