These are all issues going away with KDE Frameworks 5 which we can 
expect the first release out in this year.

It is possible to build such a kdelibs-subset. That was my idea for "Qt 
only kwin". What we need is KWindowSystem which actually belongs to KWin 
but is for historic reasons part of kdelibs. It will also become an 
independent library in Frameworks 5.

I quite agree that buzzword bingo is the wrong approach ;-) We have not 
many dependencies and I am interested in having a branch with few 
dependencies (also for other parties than just Trinity). But as I wrote 
in the last mail: I decided to delay it till we are based on Frameworks 
5. For Trinity it might be easier as things like kDebug did not change 
between kdelibs 3 and 4.
