I think it's quite easy to add support for loading both, registering with <Gui>
or with both, and starting to use <Gui> in CVS (for apps which rely on
kdelibs-cvs anyway), or in KDE 4 for the other apps.

I volunteer to do the change in the loading code, and to convert the CVS
apps after some time (to avoid the breakage for those who partially updated ;).
This (now nonsense) "KPartGui" element name has been bugging me for
a while (e.g. it's hard to explain why it should be KPartGui when making an
XMLGUI tutorial).
