Yes, it would be great to have a place to put such Qt only classes.

Benjamin and I were in the qxt channel to see what kind of stuff they have, how it's licenced, and organized etc. It's not clear yet if that would be a good place to put classes like these. Personally, I'd prefer something tied to the kde release schedule. I'm not sure the qxt guys would go for that though.

At the moment, I'm not going to try to get the KSelectionProxyModel into Qt upstream. If a qt-bits kde library doesn't get support, I'll probably just fork the classes I want into new applications when I need them.

All the best,

Steve.
