ok, so if we already have precedents of "duplication" for libxml2 and 
libz, hopefully allergy for first "g" letter will not become a 
showstopper :)
so I am planning to use "glibless" libxklavier for 3.5.2 unless there's 
strong argument against it. I'll try to make old parser be used if 
required version libxklavier is not found (at compile time).
As to "glib-bed" version for KDE4, we can talk about it in a month or so 
when more active kxkb development will happen in that branch, but 
hopefully by that time gained advantages will make arguing against it 
pretty hard.
