Actually, today I found this screenshot at 
http://ranger.befunk.com/screenshots/qtmac/ss_kwordpresenter.jpg 

and I really think it is so great, and shows how capable and portable 
KOffice has become. It shows KOffice and KWord running on Mac OS X, 
with native Mac OS Aqua interface !!! Really cool !

KWord is showing a paragraph in 5 different languages, the last language 
in the screenshot is Hebrew, which as you might now, is a Right to Left 
language, and very similar to Farsi/Arabic in this regard.

If this screenshot doesn't show how poerfull KDE and Qt have become, I 
don't know what would. This single screenshot, shows how advanced 
KDE/Qt has become, regarding internationalization, portability, 
integration with other toolkits (Carbon in this case) and useability.

I advice everyone to check these screenshot. (ATTN Arash Zeini which 
believes integration in the Open Source world is impossible !! )

1) (The one mentioned above) running KWord and Kpresenter natively with 
Mac OS X Aqua interface

2) Running Konqueror natively on OS X both, in browser mode, and in 
filemanager mode

3) running Kontack (colection of KMail and Korgenizer etc) natively on 
OS X
