Hi,

I tried this for a while and found a problem in kdelibs. When a plugin
is disabled/enabled, an entry under [KParts Plugins] named
pluginNameEnabled is added. If that entry exists, the plugin keyword
entry, critical for Ruby plugins, is not read. See
kdelibs/kparts/plugin.cpp:265. This affects all KParts plugins.

Also, do you get a non-nil parent for your ruby_konqueror_plugin
instance? I get nil here.
