Then there are the startup services and daemons. I don't know if any KDE GUI tool exists for that. If there I would appreciate a link so I can consider how that tool might be adapted to Slackware. I think the Ubuntu folks have something like that, but of course, GTK.
These things are very distro-dependent, I'm not sure that is good ideea to include it in KDE (maybe for this reason was not developed never this kind of support).
Becase we are only few developers (for now), maybe is better to focus to improve/fix already existent features. For example, kmail (or more exactly, kio_imap4) have a very annoying (and really old) bug which hang checking emails if network connection broke (or the machine wakeup after suspend). Also, kopete have poor support for file transfer (at least yahoo protocol, even I was patch it heavily). And, of course, we need to improve tqtinterface to support Qt4. There are a lot to do until we must thinking to develop something new :)
And my very science fiction ideea is to build an interface which will permit to compile KDE4 applications against trinity (a sort of compatibility layer) :)
