I'm interested in hearing what you've done. The problem is that C# doesn't 
interface easily with C++, and you usually need to do C bindings first. Qt# 
v2/Kimono will use the SMOKE library via custom RealProxies, and SMOKE does a 
lot more than the obsolete QtC C bindings.

You could join the kde-bindings@kde.org list to discuss your approach and/or 
help out with Kimono. 

I've attached an example of how the Qt# v2/Kimono api looks - KMainWindow.cs.

To generate the entire api to review it, you can edit 
kdebindings/smoke/kde/generate.pl.in and change '-fsmoke' to '-fkimono'. Then 
configure kdebindings with a '--with-smoke=kde' option, and the sources will 
be generated in the smoke/kde directory.
