(switching to kde-core-devel due to BC issue :)


I'd like to hack kpropsdlg to make it possible to add plugin tabs. That
however would break binary compatibility, because I would have to add
some member variables (actually I'd add some private d pointers, as they
are still missing :)


What is the release dude's opinion on that? :-) Perhaps we could collect
other binary incompatible changes together with Waldos kimageio changes?



Bye,
 Simon
