Is this really needed? Talking with a KDE developer he told me that a
dependency on gobject isn't a problem to get something into KDE and
also that their mainloop uses gobject's one internally for
compatibility with gobject stuff.

In fact:

[rainct, zeitgeist-project]$ apt-cache rdepends libglib2.0-0 | grep kde
  kdebase-workspace-bin
  gkdebconf
  ggz-kde-games
[rainct, zeitgeist-project]$ apt-cache rdepends libglib2.0-0 | grep qt
  libqtgui4

Bug description:
I think the core engine only relies on the GObject bindings in order to get the mainloop integration needed to get DBus playing nice.

We should have a pluggable mainloop thing so that we can use the Qt mainloop instead. On the longer term we might want to look into writing our own Python based mainloop for DBus to avoid the Qt/GObject dep. altogether. This should save us a good deal of memory.
