If that's the case let's try to keep the private API dependency chain as 
small as possible.

Currently we use private API in KWayland, so maybe we could get the 
required parts into KWayland, so that KSomeComboBox could link just 
KWayland without having to link the private API?

Just some random thoughts :-)

Thanks for the summary!
