yea. kparts were great. compilation went down from neverending to something reasonable. and konquerors ability to embed any other application (because they were written as kparts) was great.

in gnome i think they did something like "gparts" based on glib. but because gnome desktop was composed in large part from applications written in gtk and not in gnome libs it never had too much uptake (unlike in kde). but i might be wrong - i been kde user from 1.0 alpha4 and gnome was parallel universe
