Apparently it has KDE support. See the web page.

Why does this matter ?

On what do you base this guess ? Certainly more people buy the version
of MS Office that doesn't come with Access, but the fact Access ships
with Office at all suggests to me there is a market.

I was thinking it would be nice to see it as part of KOffice (and in
CVS, if the author wished). I haven't seen the code yet, but from the
website it appears to be a quality product.
