Since KDE 5 aka Plasma 5 is built on Qt5 (KDE 4 uses Qt4 as its base)
you'll find many Qt5 related packages. Also, in order for Qt4 and GTK based
applications to dock into the Plasma 5 system tray, more dependencies were
needed. So, apart from updates to regular Slackware packages and the
new telepathy support packages (see below), these are the new ones:

compile Plasma5 packages for Slackware 14.2 so I left them in.
