I don't like the name much, though.
The last 4 classes you listed above, have very little to do with completion. 
Someone looking for KTimeComboBox would never think of looking for it in 
"kcompletionwidgets".

I would rather have kwidgets, and a separate tier4 lib for KDE-related stuff 
(e.g. I just found out that KDialog belongs there, because it's tied to the 
help system of KDE (help:/ urls which end up opening khelpcenter). I'm not 
aware of a cross-free-desktops and even less cross-platform solution for this. 
I guess "pure Qt" apps simply open up HTML pages?).
