[packagekit] Merging a ton of new code

[Ken VanDine]

Rebuilt both frontend and backend... Getting a crasher in
pk-application after doing a remove (I assume other actions exhibit
similar issues):


** (pk-application:9541): CRITICAL **: dbus_g_error_get_name:
assertion `error->code == DBUS_GERROR_REMOTE_EXCEPTION' failed
Cannot access memory at address 0x85080e45
/home/ken/src/gnome-packagekit/9541: No such file or directory.Killed


Thanks,
--Ken
