Yes, it was a bug and should be fixed now. At the moment each module provides a 
'normalization_proc' which is responsible for class renaming. However, all 
normalization procs are applied to all classes. As the Korundum normalization 
proc doesn't know about any classes whose names begin with 'K' outside its 
extension, it just assumes they want renaming. So KTextEditor gets renamed as 
KDE::TextEditor and so on. I've hacked the Korundum extension ruby code so 
that it knows about the KParts:: and KTextEditor:: classes, but that isn't 
very modular.

The proper solution is to do the class renaming in the extension's C++ code as 
it reads the list of classes from the Smoke module. That will be how it will 
work for the KDE 4.5 release.
