I /think/ I saw some mention of someone working on that again.  Maybe it 
was ASegio's blog?  Something.  Wherever it was, it read like the author 
thought it wasn't going to be as difficult this time as it was last, 
because the framework is better setup, but it's definitely something 
that's not going to be ready for some time.  It (again) read to me like 
the kde 4.5 timeframe, as they're just getting started and while they 
might have something by 4.4, there's no way it'll be stable by then.  So 
4.5 would be the prediction.

Yet another way 4.5 seems to be the kde4 magic number that will finally 
bring it into rough feature parity as well as maturity and polish, as 3.5 
was.  FWIW, 4.5 should be 6 months after 4.4, which is slated for 
February, so we're looking at about August of next year (2010).
