Hmm, I thought that as long as we don't use KLibLoader::globalLibrary()
(AFAICS we don't), the symbols from dlopened objects are kept separate? Strange.
Anyway, this (not using global namespace) prevents dynamic_cast'ing across 
dlopened objects, so the plan is to go for global namespace in the long run 
(i.e. conflicts when the same name is used for two different things, like
you just experienced). So:

Use namespaces!

CervisiaTagDialog or Cervisia::TagDialog, but make all classnames 
(and global functions, if any) "conflict-free".
