I think this should be a QT not KDE as qt apps look good under kde (especially 
qt3) and users of any window manager except kde will probably not want ti 
have to install kdelibs as well as QT, much like MCC not requiring gnome 
rpms, just the gtk ones. I believe this then also makes it relatively simply 
to integrate MCC into the kdecontrol center for KDE users, and still have it 
as a stand alone application for users of other window managers.

Definately a very good idea.

Again, a very sound idea.

I also think it would be a good idea to include more kde (and no reason not 
for other wms as well)  themes and icons (liquid, crystal icons etc) as 
optional packages. Currently these have to be fetched manually, which is 
nowhere near as pleaent as a 'urpmi package'. Obviously some of the great 
themes might have liscence problems, but the ones that dont would be great 
additions.

Just a few thoughts
