I'd suggest a common lib for such objects, using a KoDrawingObject base
class or so, and then a KPObject and a KWFrameSet "wrappers" for
KoDrawingObjects. That way you can centralize code without having
to merge the object classes used by the applications (which wouldn't
make sense; the KWFrameSet/KWFrame concept doesn't apply to kpresenter).

The wrappers would simply "forward" paint events, geometry changes,
and (mouse) events to the KoDrawingObjects.
