It's no secret that when it comes to KDE-based distributions, Kubuntu isn't exactly the cream of the crop. With the release of Kubuntu Karmic Alpha 5, the KDE4 desktop delivered with Kubuntu received some much-needed love. Let's take a look at what the Kubuntu people are doing.

"Work in progress" says it all,
Novell develops the integration features for openSUSE 11.2 and that one itself is still WIP.
just like the Qt4 version which has yet again gone quiet.
Bull. Novell is true KDE supporter and won't drop that code anytime soon.
That said, please mind that the integration work is in no way a full Qt port. The amount of code required is actually quite small.
Using KDE dialogs within GTK apps is by no means anything new.
Refitting the settings window just requires a few changes default FF settings. You can also manually set its behavior using about:config.
KDE notification support is provided by a very small (20kb) FF extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/12196
Some features that don't work with KDE (like "Set as desktop background") are just removed. You can do the same manually using the Menu Editor extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/710
Considering that the actually required code for those isn't that big, it's likely that other sane distributors also use and maintain it.
