Do you *know* it'll be slow?  With objprelink it's certainly not the 
linker that is the bottleneck for KDE, and prelinking embedded in the 
tools themselves won't perform worse than objprelink.

What's ugly?  -lqt -ldcop -lkde or -lqt -ldcop -lkdecore -lkdeui -lkfile

The apps are doing this anyway, the most popular ones anyway.  And, the 
arbitrary separation of these libs that are used together is preventing 
the libs from leveraging each other as well as they could or should.

Don't think of a bug as a problem.  Think of it as a call to action.
