No, but I designed KMonop/monopd in such a way that GNOME/Win clients are
very welcome. :-) I do not want to tie my server code to a specific
platform. I want a dedicated server and any client can connect.

As far as I know, GGZ is more or less aimed at the same goal: there is a
generic server with accounts, highscores, chat, meeting areas, etcetera.
Every game can use GGZ, even if it's KDE only. The benefit is that if there
were to be a GNOME client for the same game, both could use GGZ.

Would I give up that opportunity if I ported KMonop to kbattle.net (I'm not
even using GGZ at the moment, though) ?

Oh, I will, although at the moment there is little I can reuse from there..
haven't even thought about highscores for Monopoly, but it's likely I will
use some of the KStdGameActions.
