You probably mean Dr. Konqui and not Abrt ;-) KDE is still using Dr. Konqui! 
There's some sort of debuginfo packages auto downloading but we're considering 
Abrt usage in Fedora KDE too as it better integrates to Fedora. The plan is 
even for native KDE/Qt Abrt GUI! Ping Abrt people - do you need a help? What's 
the status?
