We just splitted kdefx out of kdecore/kdeui for a reason: kde widget styles
need to dlopen and dlclose it, which currently doesn't work on the full kdecore
(due to KStaticDeleter apparently... see previous mail from gallium with backtrace)

I have nothing against grouping the libs some more, the way you suggest
sounds good. I remember making ksycoca separate from kio to give more
modularity (apps choosing what to link to), but it's true that with kdeinit this
is all void anyway.

Merging kio and kfile would allow to
* get rid of the KOpenWithHandler hack (quite an improvement in terms of API!)
* move kpropsdlg out of kfile, it's there only because it has a "Browse" button
which launches kfile, but it should rather be in kio/ IMHO.
