After a bit of copying to and fro, I found that the problem is in 
klauncher.so. I nm'd a klauncher.so compiled with gcc 4.0.1 and 
visibility=hidden and a klauncher.so compiled with gcc 3.4.2 (which makes 
kdeinit work when I manually copy it over the gcc4-compiled one) and here's 
the diff:

It looks like kdeinitmain in klauncher becomes a local symbol only in the 
gcc4/visibility case. Any clue why that happens (and how to fix)?
