Is kde usable with only kdelibs?  I mean will thinks like KOffice and KMail 
work without Kioslaves?  If kdebase is needed then this is a moot point and 
we can use KTextInterface.

If not I think it is most prudent to make KEditcl into a KTextEdit service 
and move the code there.  Then make a new KEditcl that would use KTextEdit 
and keep the simple text editor interface in kdelibs.  This defeats the idea 
of an interface in my opinion, but may offer the most flexibility.

It will not use KTextEdit afaik.

They are using an XPart, or something messed up.  In my opinion, this is a 
backwards way to go, since no-one will ever be able to use it to embed it as 
an editor.  KDevelop and Kate both use the KTextEdit interface, so unless 
KVim adhered to that interface we would be out of luck.

He did not sound willing though to rewrite a full Vim-like editor that 
conformed to the KTextEdit interface.

I am sure I am still not clear on the issue, but if waldo can keep patience 
with me long enough I think we can get something cool worked out here :)
