Kudos for the effort but give a look @ www.fwbuilder.org. I find this app very 
easy to use and well made. Rather than concentrating only on iptables (which 
is also very Linux specific) and replicating their work, you could port what 
you have done to that application and continue extending from there. I don't 
want to demean your app but if you want to make a kde fw tool you're much 
better off starting from there; but nobody's forcing you, of course.  
To kdeize the beast thoroughly one could steer fwbuilder to use kde/qt xml 
engine instead of simple gui maquillage... (but that's just an off-my-head 
thought)
