thanks for the input btw, and sorry for the late reply. 

it was more a real quick hack to enable me to add data 
members to a realworld example (kbookmarkbar) in kdelibs,
creating the template was more an idea that came by through
boredom and i figured i may just as well share it ;-)

btw, just fyi, code is from:
http://developer.kde.org/documentation/library/kdeqt/kde3arch/devel-binarycompatibility.html

yup, agreed. a singleton template would be nice.
