I'm not sure Kopete is a good target, it hasn't had a new release in a long
long time, but the general idea is good (QML'ifying some interfaces).
For example there's the project idea (under phonon) for making a QML kmix
widget to replace the current application.
I'm sure there's lots of other things that can be QML'ified (and
widgetified) besides the current widgets.
Travis.
