The screen shots look promising.  Hopefully the author has looked at
rational rose and seen what pig of a  interface it has.. and made
ways to make KUML efficient and usable.  Looking forward to its
completion, linux needs a good uml case tool (there is object domain,
but its buggy, and expensive).  I noticed KUML it didn't seem to have
support for slots and signals though.  It is turns out this way, an
opportunity missed.  

Will KUML be able to reverse engineer and generate C++ code?
