How could you tell? :-P

Of course, when writing the email, I realised "I'm not writing 'patch' 
or 'attachment', so I'll forget to attach it. I had better attach it 
now".

You know how that turned out.

Classes in kdecore
==================
KInstance
KAboutData
KAuthorized
KDesktopFile
KAutostart
KCalendarSystem (split into plugin libraries?)
KCmdLineArgs
KDebug
KGenericFactory
KLibLoader
KLibFactory
KGlobal
KConfig* (backend, simpleconfig, etc.)
KLocale
KProcess/KProcIO (check if QProcess can replace)
KProtocolFactory (?)
KStandardDirs
KStaticDeleter (Q_GLOBAL_STATIC?)
KSycoca & family
KTempDir -> KTemporaryDir
KTempFile -> KTemporaryFile (replace with QTemporaryFile?)
KTimezone
KToolInvocation
KUrl
KSaveFile (tool?)
KNetwork family (move to another library?)

kdeui
=====
KApplication / KUniqueApplication
KCrash (probably private)
KGlobalSettings -> mostly UI-related. Maybe split (namespace)?
KIconEffect
KIconLoader
KIconTheme (tool?)
KPixmapProvider
KShortcut -> rename KShortcutGroup
KStartupInfo -> private class!
KStdAccel -> KStandardAccel
KWin
KWinModule
KXErrorHandler -> private class!
NETWM family

KIO
===
KFilter family (bzip2, gzip, etc.)

Tools/Components: (kdeutils or static library[ies], simple classes without interdependency, used by very few apps)
================
KCharset
KCheckAccelerators -> should it be private, inside KApplication?
KClipboardSync -> probably used by klipper only
KCodecs -> Base64 implemented in QByteArray; leaves only quoted-printable and uuencode/decode
KMD5, KMD4
KCompletion
KDateTime -> can it be replaced with QDate/Time with extended range?
KLockFile -> used only by KConfig
KMacroExpander
KMountPoint
KNotificationRestrictions (!)
KPalette
KPty -> Unix only
KRandom
KRandomSequence
KShell
KStringHandler -> too many functions, some of which are already in QString
KUser
KZoneAllocator/KVMAllocator

classes that can either be removed or moved into KDE3Support
==============
KAccel -> new framework
KAppDcopIface -> replaced by D-Bus
KAudioPlayer -> Phonon
KCatalog -> private class!
KDCOPPropertyProxy -> replaced by D-Bus
KDCOPInterface -> D-Bus
KDebugDCOPIface -> D-Bus
K3Icon
KIDNA -> QUrl
KIPC -> D-Bus
KLibrary -> QLibrary (requires modifications into QLibrary)
KMimeSourceFactory -> uses Qt3Support
KNotifyClient -> deprecated
KRFCDate -> deprecated
KSharedData -> QSharedDataPointer
KSocks -> to be hidden
KSortableValueList -> too specific!
KTypeList -> maybe rework? Looks ugly.
KXMessages -> D-Bus

Extra
=====
KDEDModule

Other stuff:
============
- kglobalaccel_win.h is in kdecore. Why?
- remove old, empty headers
- mark private headers with _p.h
- get rid of kde_file.h
-------------- next part --------------
rollback into Qt
================

KLineEdit (text completion)

KTextEdit (text completion)
KCompletionBox (text completion)
