The same problems are present on Mac, I must say. We still do not
develop for Mac but I'd say we'll do in a year.

I do not know kdelibs to the point that I could say if it's feasible
to have kdelibs working on Windows and Mac without DBus, kded,
kdeinit, etc. I'd say it requires so much work it's unrealistic to
propose that before KDE5, if at all.
