Troy, could you please give some comments on the below:

Well, the InstallMgr (sword/apps/X11/InstallMgr) is C++ and glade-based (like 
QT designer) created. I have becom careful with saying something is bad 
without having looked at it. ;) Maybe it's not that bad?

You may be right here, but this would surely mean a duplication of efforts. 
If we still want to make a kde version it should be
-a separate app
-available as a static version so that all unix users could use it. It could 
then eventually replace InstallMgr for unix.
