</div>I'd argue the application is broken if that happens. :-)<br>
<br>
A regular application should only need KDE Frameworks and eventually other<br>
libraries (kdepimlibs, Qt, etc.) to run. If it needs direct implementation<br>
details about the workspace the application is badly designed.<br>
<br>
Of course that raises the question of what is part of the workspace... that<br>
doesn't give any indication on splitting though. No application was supposed<br>
to depend on kde-workspace before anyway, so I'd understand kicking out what's<br>
not needed in there anymore, I don't understand exploding it completely.<br>
<br>
