We have IM Proxy for a while, which operates between KAddressBook, KMail, 
Kopete and Konversation (yes, only KDE apps). The infrastructure is there, 
but I think it's hard to convince non-KDE projects to let them talk with IM 
Proxy.

And KOrganizer is already capable of extracting birthdays from KAddressbook, 
that's not a point.

Kind regards,
