You like ddd more? Use it! Want it ported to KDE? Do it! Don't bash work
of others. Anyways, kdbg has special features and integrates better to
Qt/KDE  (both GUI- and technology-wise), so it's better than DDD in those
aspects right now.

Any patch? Oh! You don't need to jump on it right away. Look in the TODO
file of kpanel, I think keyb. navigation is already there. Of course, if
somebody paid the kpanel developers, they'd to only kpanel programming and
they'd put all the mirobolant features they dream in the code in a week or
so.

Yes. It usefully lets people who dislike it to ignore it.
