I'm going to put it into kutils, if that's OK.  It seems stupid to have=20
a library just for one class.  If people think it should go elsewhere=20
(such as kdeui), then I don't object to it being moved.  Bear in mind=20
that it depends on libkparts.

I don't have time to do any porting.  It should be a reasonably=20
straightforward job if the application is well-designed.  Look at=20
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/printing.html to see how the Qt4 printing=20
system works.  Basically, use QPrinter rather than KPrinter, and=20
QPrintDialog instead of KPrinter::setup().

Also, until there is a method for getting a QPrintDialog with an extra=20
widget, you'll have to disable any additional pages.  They might=20
require more involved porting anyway.

If anyone is up for adding at least an API for a customised QPrintDialog=20
today, that would be great.  Then applications can be ported and=20
hopefully start working when it is implemented (and when using Qt=20
4.3.2+).
