gmm, so our component framework is not very small then...

another context to consider this applet in is kdm. there, kio is quite a

that was my other argument for part - it's not easy to do kxkb in kdm with
dbus

so, would it be possible to use a plain libloader and QXEmbed (well, the

I'll take a look to see if that's reasonable to do it with QXEmbed, though
it would be really nice if our parts library was lightweight enough for
light (secure) components.

BTW, it looks like we might provide DBUS interface anyway, I've just talked
to Sergey Udaltsov and (hopefully) the result that there will be API shared
by KDE and GNOME. The proposed draft of the API is here
http://xlibs.freedesktop.org/xkbdesc/ofkl.xml Comments and suggestions are
welcome.
