have you looked the new (standard) plugin system offered with kde3.1?

as i explain, i'm for kde integration.
Limited number of developer for kde could be a joke.
Think that is actually the most used desktop environment and more advanced 
solution *now* (ok, i'm ready for the flame!) and kde/qt developer know the 
way they walk with experience. Think that an increasing number of 
distribution are going to kde (united linux group and not only).
