You mean in order to create KMainWindows and KToolBars?
What would this provide to the Qt applications?
AFAICS we mostly have these for additional features, which those Qt-only apps
wouldn't use, like handling of settings (window size and toolbar positions),
movable toolbars (off by default), a more elaborate logic for finding out when 
to exit the process (urgh, would lead to surprises in those Qt only apps), 
etc. I think Qt-only apps would look exactly the same with just 
s/QMainWindow/KMainWindow/...
