There is currently one lonely, but not-so-infrequently-used function in 
kdrawutil (from kdefx, which is slowly being removed): kColorBitmaps. It 
would be nice if we could move this before the next beta (i.e. "next 
Monday"), but where is a good place to put it? New KGraphicsUtils? KStyle 
(not my first choice)? Somewhere else?

I believe this is used pretty frequently by styles - not just widget ones, 
(which will most likely be dumped),  but KWin styles as well, (which will 
probably live on). Personally, I'd move it to kdeui but it's your call. I 
don't think many newer styles will be colorizing bitmaps, tho...

all that will soon be left of kdefx is KCPUInfo and kColorBitmaps
<//Matthew>

About KCPUInfo, Blitz has CPU detection based on it but that detects some more 
flags and Qt has it's own internal ones. We got a lot of these... ;-)

Another issue I mentioned before is if we need the dither routine from kdefx. 
This was used to dither to the KDE standard palette on 8bit/256 color 
displays. I don't know if we are still going to support this, I can't imagine 
Plasma on a 256 color display, but if we are that will have to be stuck 
somewhere and I need to modify Blitz to use it.
