  Description     : a launcher for people that are nostalgic about katapult

I started writing trabucco (trebuchet in Italian), because I was not very
happy with krunner and I had been happier with katapult, on KDE3.

So the idea is to have a similar user experience.

Trabucco is more deterministic, it creates a search tree when it starts and
as the user types, it shows the best suggestion.

It only shows 1 suggestion per string.

If the user doesn't add new programs/bookmarks, the same search string will
always result in the same suggestion. This means that it makes it easy to
acquire muscle memory and do things without even looking at the screen.

These are the main differences with krunner. Krunner will do the search as
the user types in, try to be smart and sort multiple suggestions, and have
timeouts, so depending on the load of the system, you might get a different
set of suggestions. These are things I found annoying, hence the decision of
writing trabucco.

It uses modern Qt things and QML to render, and I have made an effort to be
compliant with freedesktop specifications.

I am the main upstream author, I plan to keep the debian directory on the same
git repository as the upstream code.
