[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

these 2 patches add KDE diff tools. However, only the kdiff3 is working. Kcompare shows dialog with message: Could not load KcompareViewPart.

Not sure how to fix that error atm.

Please run 'guix style' on this.  Also, at run time,  I get:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

and cannot use it.  Is it expected to only work inside a KDE
environment?

This one appears to run fine on my side.

Could you address the issues here (at least the typos and guix style),
but hopefully add a comment explaining the environment requirements for
kcompare to run and send a v2, or even a fix! :-)
