(Get the code!)
In my opinion this bug report shows a major problem of KDE - the not invented here syndrome.
It doesn't make a lot of sence to re-write every existing application out there just to make it QT based and KDE integrated. In a few years new apps will be created but nobody will be there to maintain all the existing apps, like its the case with Ark.
Wouldn't it have been better to ship XArchiver with KDE and make sure it is integrated well within KDE by e.g. writing a few plugins? Same holds true in my opinion for a lot of KDE code like KMail, Amarok, Kopete, ....
