As described on the GPL FAQ linked from the page above, this is
a borderline case. If the kpart and other programs don't need any
internal knowledge of each other during authoring, compilation or
execution, I'd argue that the undistributable derivative work is
only created after run-time. Beyond that, it needs more knowledge
of KDE's workings than I have.
