Thanks :) By the way, you can read about it on planetKDE, since I blog
almost weekly on my progress; however, you can find in [0] a link to my post
with screencast too, so you can have a better idea on what I'm doing.

Actually I was not aware of your project at all. It is somewhat hard to<br>
follow all the stuff that happens in KDE land :)<br>
