Mayhap the KDE reference should be removed and Olive targeted only at
GTK?

OK, so it works in principle, but it seems the Olive HEAD is not
consistent with bzr.dev HEAD:

No handlers could be found for logger "bzr"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/Checkouts/Bazaar/Olive-GTK/olive-gtk", line 89, in <module>
    import bzrlib.plugins.gtk.ui as ui

  File "/home/Checkouts/Bazaar/Bazaar/Mainline_Working/bzrlib/api.py", line 82, in require_api
    raise IncompatibleAPI(object_with_api, wanted_api, minimum, current)

True but I never actually installed it I always ran it from the branch.
