I wrote a mail a few days ago at kde core devel, which had something todo 
with the kdockwidgets, because they are NOT ONLY used in kdevelop. I think we 
shouldn't start removing classes completely without a really good 
replacement. I think the QDockWidgets are not really a good replacement. I 
thought we would at least stay in KDE 3.0 nearly source compatible.

********************************************
Now the important thing:

Why not split KDEUI into two or more smaller libs ? :Into common, often used 
widgets and into a lib with gui stuff, which is not that often (but at least 
is) used. The second/third/... lib only needs to be loaded if an application 
really needs those widgets/classes/.....

Kind regards
