Heh, I think you got the same image reading that thread as I did:
a student who hadn't yet had to write a dissertation would come
along, so not yet realising the value of Forward/Inverse search :o)

(No, that's not a reflection on the actual people involved.  I don't
know them at all.)

I don't use Kile (sorry, preview-latex is just too useful) but for me, the 
forward/inverse search is practically *the* reason for kdvi to exist
(and the fact that it's nice and lightweight).

I'd think we shouldn't have to worry too much about this.  Losing that feature 
in KDE would be a quite a bad regression, so presumably kdvi wouldn't be 
removed until another app. provides that feature as well as kdvi does...?
