That's an awfully broad statement to make. And untrue, since you can see
KNode using threads quite successfully for several years now (KPilot does,
too). The KDE libraries are not designed to be reentrant, though, so you
have to be _very_ careful what you do with the libraries from other
threads; basically, if it crashes, then you did something you shouldn't
have. Use threads for computation - call KDE libraries only from the main
thread.
