To the best of my knowledge, only those where kvt would fail
to work, too. I've some platform related patches still to apply,
though, but kvt is supposed to be dropped during the kde-2.0
process. I suggest to maintain kvt in the kde-1.1 branch where
it makes sense, but would clearly mark kvt to be unsupported
and obsolete in the kde-2.0 branch.
