Forgot to mention
kipi plugins are not seen by the "qt3" or kde3 version of digikam, but is seen 
in the kde4 version.

Also gphotoframe is spitting this little error;

[kate@localhost ~]$ gphotoframe
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gphotoframe", line 19, in <module>
    from gphotoframe.liststore import PhotoListStore
ImportError: No module named gphotoframe.liststore

So far I can't figure it out but I'm still on it.
