supported - no more windows popping up, all is displayed on the dialog
All transfers are handled internally, giving user the feedback right
inside the window. There are pair of bugs, but installing (aka plain
downloading) and uninstalling (aka deltion) of files are already
handled.
What to do next:
- remove bugs (reparent AvailableItem(s) to the main class, not the
view and deference pointers after deletion will fix the crash; it
can even be fixed by limiting user's freedom and force him/her to
act only on currently displayed items; btw this way is deprecated)
- handle install/removal notifications on the app
- check the whole flow of the operation. check for unstable states
(seems not the case) and unreachable ones
- clean it up and ship that client with kpdf, since:
*knewstuff in kde4 will be cleaner and better*

It's not yet complete (file dowload and internal notifies are missing) but
the new stuff browser is running. The ui is modeled on an Aaron's mockup.
NewStuff:
Fetches the providers list (kpdf.kde.org/newstuff/providers.xml), lets
the user select a provider and displays provider's contents in a KHMTL
part (for flexibility and eye candy).
Internally we use KNS' Entry and Provider structures only, doing all the
transfer operations by hand via KIO::get jobs. Download will be done
internally too (to give better consistancy in the interface).
Network timeouts, problems or info messages are notified in a statusbar-
like widget and we try to keep all information in the dialog, without
using messageBoxes
Part:
Added the action and the dialog invocation
Makefiles:
Link the KNEWSTUFF and KHTML libraries.
