Haha, sorry, but I doubt any applications that have their own release schedule 
and are currently using Qt4 (and not kde) will *add* a dependency on KDE4libs 
until at minimum kdelibs puts out a beta.  I know I wouldn't. My app wouldn't 
have everything that kdelibs will give me, but if I added a dependency on 
kdelibs right now my releases would freeze and worse I would have *no* idea 
when kdelibs will be released on all my platforms so that I can just have a 
dependency.  Maybe I wouldn't have another release for a year.  That is just 
suicide for a lot of small open source applications that have a few 
developers.

Way more likely they will rip out the parts of KDE they want themselves until 
kdelibs gets a stable release out.
