Kommander/DCop Qt Designer and Other languages

Hello all,
I've been a KDE user for  around 3 years now and I just
spent the last
few days playing around with Kommander and Dcop to add some
extra
functionality to quanta. The speed at which I could create
new tools
for our work flow was astounding and I think the  kommander
editor is
a brilliant way to develop.

I have a few questions  though

1) In the kommander editor I have a widget   which recieves
a signal
from another widget. When that signal is received I would
like to
dynamically add another widget  to the form.

is this possible and if so what function call do i make?

2) I had a  quick look at Qt designer and I imagine this
would make
developing KDE apps extremely quick from the gui POV. Are
most KDE
apps created using this application or are the gui
components "hand
coded".

As a java programmer I was wondering can I use this tool to
develop
java KDE apps with out having to use Eclipse ? I had a quick
look at
Jambi but it seemed like a whole heap of hurdles to jump
though and
didn't appear to be GPL'd.

Is there a way to develop Java apps like C++ apps. Or is
there a
better language to use...ruby and python didn't seem all
that well
documented either.

I really  intend to learn C++ correctly one day, but i am
all too
aware that a good java programmer != a good C++ programmer.
At the
current moment I would like to use the skills I have to
extend KDE and
create high quality apps until such time as I feel confident
i can
create the same quality apps with C++.

Any hints or tips?

Kind regards
Andrew M

kdebindings has Qt and KDE bindings (for 3.x) for Java (and
an associated 
mailinglist), but their uic code generator doesn't work.
