Do you think the error would be easier to understand if the imported target 
wouldn't be called "KDE4Workspace__processui" but just "processui" ?
I added the "KDE4Workspace__" as a prefix for the imported targets to make it 
clearer where they should come from and also to make it obvious that this is 
an imported target and not a file on disk.

But maybe this actually makes it more confusing for people who don't know the 
details how it works ?
What do you think ?
