Yes, of course.

Hmm sorry, but I need more help there. The documentation I find on 
xmlguiclients doesn't help me at all with plugin based approach of kdevelop.

Lets take the Documentation tool view again. It's added by the 
DocumentationController. I find nothing related to xmlgui in that file! It's 
not even an IPlugin, hence will require special treatment, correct?

So where would I bring xmlgui in to play?

I still think that my first approach is much nicer...
