Although the script lies in the examples directory the README clearly suggests 
using it. That's why I thought the severity to be adequate. If it really felt 
like an example-only I would have made it a wishlist or minor bug, if it had 
been the real default configuration an even higher severity would have been 
appropriate.

I'm fine with that.

Yes, don't skip support for action scripts, but don't suggest using them for 
roaming. You should give other useful examples, e.g.you can use an action 
script to put KMail in offline mode on DISCONNECT. Are you interested in such 
an example?

I can't find it mentioned in the README.
