I'm never entirely clear on this. But previous announcements include dolphin 
and konsole in the workspaces. Okular does indeed belong to the apps, 
neither does Gwenview, I've moved things around to reflect this. Should be

Yup, so I need the help from them now - some haven't agreed but usually do 
this and need to be pinged, any chance you could do that? Basically, I'm 
talking Martin, Vishesh and Torsten. Vishesh agreed on this already, Martin 
and Torsten can easily be convinced :D
