Hehe, isn't is nice to see that when someone speaks of "parts" in a general 
sense, to KDE developers it can only mean KParts ;-) 
I'm all for world-domination part-by-part ;-)

The real question is: Will kde3 and kde4 apps be able to ran alongside each 
other gracefully? In particular, how about all the system settings used by 
Kontact?

Cheers,
Reinhold
