I'm not sure that's helping. What is "reasonable"? :-)

I suspect it has something to do with runtime dependencies? If not, what is 
unreasonable in kxmlgui dependencies? (as it seems to be the main culprit)

If it is linked to runtime dependencies, I think you ought to not only look at 
the Tier but also the Type. Only frameworks of the "functional" type have no 
such dependencies.

Cheers.
