Charles, you can use C++ and Assembly to do that, and Qt is quite fast on building GUI - Applications. I cant help with that part since I have not much knowledge on it assembly ( machine - code ). there's one part of your thread that worries me, however: "Certain parts will be in the public domain." I understand that it's *your* work, and you should get all credit on that, but please remember that KDE is *completely* open souce software.
