IIRC kactivitymanagerd takes care also of the recent files and documents in
the application launcher menu.
Perhaps, but I find it hard to believe this is its main focus. Other
desktops seem to manage the same thing equally well.
If my memory is correct, you don't want to remove it. The
segfault should be
solved instead.
I would like to remove it but can't as it's a dependency of Plasma. In
my case losing the "recent stuff" function would be no great loss,
though other people might have a different view.
