  It certainly appears that to create more complex stencils the
functionality of Kivio will need to be improved. I saw some use of python
in the source code for the basic flowcharting set which came with Kivio,
but didn't really know what it did. Python does therefore seem like quite
a natural way to do it.
  Alternativly what about doing it as a plugin or using QWidgetFactory to
load forms from XML descriptions? I haven't used this feature of Qt but it
appears it might be the kind of situation it was designed for. Although I
have done some Qt programming I have not done KDE programming, so maybe
the KDE libraries provide a better way of doing this?
