Hi, you could check in KDE bindings mailing list - [email protected]
qt bindings are generated by tool called assemblygen -
https://gitorious.org/assemblygen/assemblygen
Here are the install instructions -

The link does not actually answer any of my questions.
Who is working on it? Not answered, expect to say that some of the
banshee guys have contributed, doesn't tell me who is leading or drive
the effort, my guess is no one is.
Where is the code? Not answered at all
Where will it be released? Not answered, expect to say someone tried
it a while ago and it didn't work.
All these other binding GUI projects are well and good but none of
them are released and packaged for Debian.

Hi.
We should take a look of Qyoto project, Qt bindings are
generated automatically not like GTK's which had been created
manually. The mono team does not want to create a GTK 3 bindings
because everything has to be done from scratch again and this is a
lot of work.

GTK 3 was released 10 Feb 2011. That's a long time ago.
During that time .net bindings have failed to eventuate.
Information on what has been happening has been very hard to
find, despite a large number of .net applications on linux using
these bindings.
As the author of an opensource application dependent on these
bindings I find this lack of information very concerning. And I'm
starting to ask myself questions like, Am I now dependent of a
dead or dieing library?
Banshee was removed from the default ubuntu
install, officially because of lack of GTK 3 support.
I have the following questions:
Where is the source code for GTK 3 support?
As far as I can establish the GTK sharp code is hosted here:
https://github.com/mono/gtk-sharp
<https://github.com/mono/gtk-sharp/branches>
However there is no branch in there labelled as GTK3
Who supports GTK sharp?
If it is community maintained, who are the main contributors?
Is there a projected or planned release date for GTK 3 support?
Developers dependent on GTK sharp need this information in order
to plan the future of there applications.
If GTK sharp is really dying then application developers
dependent on it need to know, so they can either contribute to it
or move there applications on to something else.
If the bindings are struggling, how come there has been no call
for contributors, or at least transparent information about what
is going on. Rather then the current back whole of information.
Recently ubuntu held an app competition, it was hugely successful
and while it was on people where asking questions like this:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/154373/use-primary-toolbar-with-mono
And all we could do was advice that they use another language.
If we lose GTK# bindings where does that leave mono on desktop
linux? We have no QT bindings, no clutter bindings and no GTK# 3
bindings. in sort we have no bindings available (by that I mean
packaged in debian or similar) for the latest version of any
native linux GUI tool kit.
I'm going to say this again, mono developers cannot use the
latest version of any native linux GUI tool kit.
Now maybe the GTK# bindings are alive and well and are about to
issue a release. However if that is true then the developers have
a lot of room for improvement with there communications.
Sincerely,
Daniel Hughes
