I guess many of them could be already removed, e.g.:
* kovpn, NetworkManager (both the plasmoid and the applet) support OpenVPN.
* qtcurve-qt3, it just a theme which doesn't require many resources to be 
built.

Someone have a development version for Qt4/KDE4
* ksniffer, (and I bet everyone uses wireshark).
* ktechlab

Others have better alternatives:
* kleansweep, bleachbit? (uses PyGTK) sweeper? (maybe miss some feature, just 
report the feature request to the kde bug tracker)
* pwmanager, kwallet?

I can't do a detailed list ATM, but I'd like to hear some opinion from the 
people that use those programs first.

I'm in favor or removing gtk1/qt3, but building qt3 takes sooo much time. I 
really want to drop it when nobody really needs it.
