this might change. Consider Razor/LXDE joining the KDE umbrella. What then?

I'm in fact aware of at least three desktop shells by the KDE community. The 
only thing those three share is the window manager.

Given that we know that we want to open us for more projects and that we want 
to get our technologies into other Qt based desktops, it would be a really bad 
idea to ignore this fact when we do the planning for the next version.

Just for the record: both KWin and Konqueror got introduced in KDE (SC) 2. The 
oldest to my knowledge still being developed application is KMail.
