Great, you do that.

My issue is that I really can't get a handle on the KDE4 porting
process. On the other hand, I'm fairly comfortable with the OpenGL model
so I have a much clearer picture of how it would work... Remember, that
negative coordinants are valid in ktechlab so that, normally, you don't
have to care about where stuff is in the plane. (there is a bug there
but it is easy to ignore.)

Hmm, it's not in Portage (Gentoo)... I'm certainly not going to stop you
from talking to them on behalf of ktechlab.
