Hehe, that still doesn't say if you are using KDE3 or KDE4! but it's 
rather academic.

Yeah both these are probably needed. Remote plugin definately as any 
remote interaction with a Gallery system needs this, including the Java 
Gallery remote shipped with Gallery.

I think Andrea is correct in that a little hint somewhere is needed. 
Probably just a "Make sure you gallery is configured correctly" text 
somewhere (e.g. when adding a new gallery account) and a link to the 
kipi-plugins site, so details can be updated easily without having to 
change the code :)
