Hi, Matthias
frankly, i don't think kparts will be of any help there...
We could of course subclass KParts::Part to something like KEDU::Part, which 
would have functionality for exercises or help, but that would require that 
all KDE-EDU programs become KParts, and that we find some way to specify a 
generic interface for exercises, and i don't really see how we could do that.
It would be really nice though...
I think the best (and certainly easiest) place to put this kind of extensions 
is in the "shell program" (the one that wraps the part if you run it as a 
program (e.g. kghostview is a shell for KGVPart (or something like that)).
