Yes, well, I don't know. People keep discussing the dependency of KScreen as if it was something that happened because there was an explicit interest for using it. I spent quite some time with the port and it was (and still is) the only option.

Fixing Qt is possible, but I'm quite sure it won't happen if we don't make it happen. Changing hte Plasma side, is indeed the easy part.
