I removed the QtC bindings from the CVS about a year ago. The version of Qt# 
that used them is dead. I don't know if Adam Treat is still working on C# 
bindings - he posted a mail on the kde-bindings list a few months back, 
saying he'd  come up with a new idea for wrapping C#. He had kde# bindings 
down on the KDE 3.4 release plan, so I don't know what happened.

I did start on Qt/KDE bindings called 'Kimono' using the language independent 
Smoke bindings library, and there is an '-fkimono' option to the kalyptus 
bindings generator tool still in the cvs. The Qt# guys weren't interested in 
collaborating on that, and I've been too busy with ruby bindings recently - 
I've pretty much given up on it.

It is technically possible to wrap KConfigXT classes for language bindings, 
and I've done that for ruby. There is a ruby KConfigXT project template in 
KDevelop 3.2.0, and a rbkconfig_compiler utility to compile .xfcg files to 
ruby code.
