"The KDE Project today announced the release of KOffice 1.4.2 for Linux and Unix operating systems. Support for the OpenDocument format, recently adopted by Massachusetts state in the USA, has been greatly improved, especially in KWord, KSpread and KPresenter. Karbon, a vector-based drawing program, has also seen a lot of development lately, and many fixes have gone into it."

> KDE4 is going to use many of these new fd.o developments.
Which ones ? Could you name some ?
He is probably thinking of DBUS and gstreamer in that case.
DBUS are one thing which may get adopted and used as a replacement for DCOP. That is if it's enough, that is meets the requirements KDE has for IPC or can be fixed to meet such demands. If it's not KDE are better of using DCOP and extending it with direct bindings to HAL.
As for gstreamer it's one of several backends for the new backendindependent multimedia framework for KDE 4. Other candidates are NMM, alsa, mas and aRts. My personal preference are NMM for it's incredible cool tech, or using alsa directly for simplicity when having a soundcard capable of HW mixing.
Making Arthur, Qt4 vector drawing framework, use Cairo are also one possibility. When Cairo gets stable and if there are someting to gain from doing so, that is.
