Ok. What about licensing? The copied Qt code says LGPLv3 only, while the kio frameworks uses LGPLv2 (and maybe later). Those two licenses are incompatible - we cannot mix LGPLv3 only with an LGPLv2+ library, except if we make it LGPLv3 only as well. I don't want to diminish your work here, but the licensing issue can be resolved by upstreaming your work into Qt itself, or by rebasing your work on an older version of Qt that still is LGPLv2, or by rewriting it by forgetting everything you saw previously :-) Licensing sometimes is tricky, and in this case, I think its a showstopper right now.
