I am not sure what is the current status of KDE on OSX and Windows,
but I do not think this would be considered a welcome addition in
these environments.
What we would like is something that plays well with the native
environment, be it KDE, gnome (we have a brand new gtk+ port in 1.4.x
that may or may not be ready in time), windows or OSX. I know we are
still a bit far from this.

We are never going to have that, since TeX is not suited to this use.

See above.

Well, I think that's still what the main goal is.
