I added the dpointers when I cleaned up and documented the API of these 
classes for use in kasbar. I also moved a lot of the cooler kasbar code such 
as window thumbnailing into the shared api at the same time. The basic idea 
was to make it possible for the various task managers to share this code 
nicely and to allow developers to add features to the api without forcing 
users to recompile all their other task managers.

My personal preference would be for you to break b/c now, and then to move the 
library to kdelibs so that other people can use it. I've had a couple of 
requests for info about it from people who want to write their own task 
managers, so I feel it makes sense to add this to the public API of KDE.
