To that I can add: Chris Jones and I are working on a new on-screen 
keyboard that should work quite well in KDE.

It depends on Gtk ATM, but the core rendering is done with Cairo. 
Otherwise it mostly talks with X. It does NOT depend on AT-SPI. It 
should work just fine in KDE if Gtk is available (and doesn't look 
gnomish). We are planning do do its configuration in Gconf now, so that 
would have to be changed to make it KDE-friendly. We would welcome 
advice on what be best approach for this is.

I'm not sure what would be required to make it a proper KDE app, but not 
much I should think (after all, it's still a fairly simple app, and 
mostly SVG and Cairo). Does Kubuntu ship with Gtk? And if so can it 
simply be run as is or would it be better to KDE-fy it?
