Yes, that's a good question... I think so, because it allows a distribution to 
change how things are handled by changing the portland implementation. It 
would introduce of cource an extra level of indirection, so an alternative 
for KDE apps could be to check if KDE is running and only call the portland 
stuff when running outside KDE. Depends a bit on whether Qt will provide 
hooks for things like that.

Cheers,
Waldo
