Concerning the game engine, players handling, network stuff, etc. there is also 
the libkdegames/kgame library which works very well. I'm still surprised that 
no more games use it. Maybe is it because of a lack of documentations and 
examples... KsirK uses it since a very long time with no big problems, except 
during the kde3 to kde4 porting.

What will make gluon better than that ?
