They should integrate is in whatever container they use to manage the
views. The active container should be chosen.

How does it work at the moment ? The views are created outside kte and
then "added" to kte ?

The real trouble is if we have applications that can only support one
view. In that case, some kind of mecanism to inform kte that the view
could not be created would be necessary.

I have no idea at this point. I think it could be integrated later on
anyway with a proper extension. So, let's focus on things I have a small
clue about.

I am not going to throw the towel that easily. Yzis kpart is the most
wanted feature of the world. I'll find a way to make it happen. I have
somebody that is ready to help already.

Now, KDE development has always been awful in my experience (that's why
I wrote the developer faq). I think that the situation has improved a
lot with cmake but I'll probably need a bit of support here to get
things into shape.
