ok, so i'll keep it linking kdeui until merged, then I'll can import the 
required kdeui files individually (hoping there won't be too much domino 
effect ending up importing half of it eheh :))

as the way of improvement, how i see it is basically:
for sure qt having the needed bits that nowdays justify the exstence of 
classes like KIcon would be good, how feasible in short term dunno, that's 
kind of platform11 material :)

also potentially material for that, what i see improvable in kdeui, is that 
right now mixescustom qwidgets with things that are more low level pixmap 
related, like icons or "backend of ui" like kstatusnotifieritem and the rest 
of the stuff in notifications/
that looks like a candidate for a split at least in two...

BC i guess? ;) probably should be deprecated...
