we also support mechanisms other than HAL/DBUS.

the point is that we can only use what's available, so making FUSE (or any 
other kernel-specific feature) a core part of KDE is almost certainly a 
no-go.

what people -can- do is improve the integration of KDE on any given platform 
as long as it isn't done in a way that makes KDE useless (e.g. doesn't 
compile; doesn't start; etc) on other platforms.
