From a usability point of view; I fully agree :)

The thing to consider here is that guidelines are closely coupled with the 
rulers. So I personally think (without spending much time reading code) 
that you can closely couple the guidelines stuff with the rulers as they 
already exist in koffice lib.  

Other then that; I'm all for integration !

Yes, that would be fine.
Photoshop, for example, shows them always on top, plus only allows you to 
click/drag them using one tool (the general drag tool).  This sounds like 
a good idea to me.

Thanks!
