When you add stuff to KDE Libs...

Reviewing some of the new code that has been added to kdelibs for 3.4, I've noticed a few old problems recurring. Some of the new classes are missing d pointers, this will be a pain in the future and should not have happenned. I strongly urge anyone writing stuff for kdelibs (or interfaces that plugins etc. will talk to for that matter) to review the doc on binary compatibility I link below.

While you're at it, you should also probably review:

In future, we probably need to ensure that APIs etc. are reviewed before additions are made to kdelibs, but until we break bc we're stuck for now.
