Since QT/KDE are not even close to being ready, I don't think this is an issue. However, once KDE/QT are 
hooked up to at-spi and ready to go, you can be sure that I'll be one of the first to suggest that orca 
becomes a freedesktop/desktop agnostic project, since it should then be able to work in KDE, and IMO, 
duplication is not a good idea, particularly with the few resources we currently have.
