Elisa revisted

It appears that upgrading Elisa from the Packman packages is a little hit-and-miss. The best thing to do is:
  1. Uninstall Elisa and Pigment (use Yast Search and uninstall everything with "elisa" or "pigment" in the name!)
  2. Erase contents of /usr/lib/python/site-packages/elisa
  3. Install the new Elisa (and Elisa-with-plugins) packages which should pull everything else through via dependencies
  4. Also a good idea to erase elisa.db and .thumbnails from your .elisa-xxx configuration directory
Then wait a while after starting as the media scanner goes off and indexes/thumbnails everything - this makes the old U810 grind a bit.
