Does this need to be a KDE app ?
Unless you intend to do other KDE actions with it I don't see why this
benefits you ? If you want a KDE interface it makes sense, but if all
you want to do is a get a list of windows - possibly for a commandline
app or a daemon to use, then depending on KDElibs is a bit of an
overkill and not-to-mention will hugely add to the resource needs of
what is otherwise a very simple thing to do.
This is already supported in xlibs and there is even a reference app
that uses it in xlsclients, writing a C++ version that does only what
you need seems more sensible unless you do in fact want a GUI.
If you do, then by all means, write it for KDE please :D
