I updated the current kalyptus and smoke/kde with kdelibs, and it all built 
fine for me. BTW Alex for nitive spookers the wood is 'weird'.. :)

Alex's example all seemed to work as expected when I tried it. I think the 
cast_to_object() is correct, even though the malloc'ing might need to be 
tidied up. And perhaps the method rename dynamic_cast(), and passed a Class 
as arg, rather than the classname as a String.
