These things are very distro-dependent, I'm not sure that is good ideea to 
include it in KDE (maybe for this reason was not developed never this kind of 
support).

Becase we are only few developers (for now), maybe is better to focus to 
improve/fix already existent features. For example, kmail (or more exactly, 
kio_imap4) have a very annoying (and really old) bug which hang checking 
emails if network connection broke (or the machine wakeup after suspend). 
Also, kopete have poor support for file transfer (at least yahoo protocol, 
even I was patch it heavily). And, of course, we need to improve tqtinterface 
to support Qt4. There are a lot to do until we must thinking to develop 
something new :)

And my very science fiction ideea is to build an interface which will permit 
to compile KDE4 applications against trinity (a sort of compatibility 
layer) :)
