I very much agree. Having forwarders for the public KDE classes would be 
great.

I use that feature from Qt4 for a while now and while I was sceptical at 
first, because it didn't fir to my habits, I now love it. It's really nice 
that you never have to look up header file names anymore.

The only thing which is slightly annoying is that it's inconsistent with the 
KDE convention and you have to think in two different ways for Qt and KDE 
header. But this could easily be solved by adding header forwarders to KDE.
