They won't intended to be used just in KDE/QT environment. By the way, are

My whole point is that could be an good middleware to anywone write GUI
independent plugins. Big part of discussion are always involving GUI and
religious-person like GUI's... This really doesn't matter, the main target is
easily interoperate between Application and plugin. Which way the plugin are
"cartoon" drawed, or even a deamon is a plugin developer worry...
