All distro do not have the bleeding edge QT4 or KDE4

In that case, is TDE supposed to provide QT 4.7 (or newer) and the
latest kdelibs just to provide the latest kwin ? I don't think so.
I highly
recommend to not use KWin 4.3 anymore. And RHEL or SLES are very bad
examples. Users of those want the old versions and do neither want to install
a recent version of KDE software nor of TDE software. They use the old system
because of the provided security by RedHat or SUSE. Installing anything third
party invalidates the reason to use RHEL/SLES in the first place.
At maximum, we should re-package the distro-provided kwin to disable
these dependancies.
For example, I could rebuild RHEL6's kwin with disabled nepomuk etc ...
and make a Trinity package with it, that would not require to add any
other library to the system.
kwin 4.3 does not use anything of Nepomuk. That
indirect and optional runtime
(!) dependency got added around 4.7.
