And when we have a kdegames lib, why not all using a widget derived from a 
kdegames lib? Inside the main widget, everyone can use its own widget for some 
work or anything like this.

For it sounds as the same with the highscore dialog. If we want a consistent 
look, everyone has to take the dialog from the kdegames lib or it won't be 
consistent.

U can image of so many situations and implement everything in the kdegames 
lib, but when someone wants to, ... he will find a way not implemented.
