While the kparts toolkits provides an easy framework, it inevitably leads to a one size fits all mentality to application design where everything is shoe-horned into the chosen framework. Not to mention code bloat for smaller apps (did I mention the 285k "hello world" dialog?) It will all work once all the 'oopses' have been eliminated, but until then, any weak link in the chain really impacts a lot of stuff (thus the teeth adjectives above :) For fun, see the "hello world" tutorial here: http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials#Introduction_To_KDE_4_Programming -- David C.
