Yes, I tried all kinds of variations of ConstructorArgs to no effect.

Hmm. Its been a while, and actually, I don't have a dev tree for kde at this 
point, but given that I had the paths set correctly for kdewidgets.so, I'd be 
surprised if it was that (I used to run a 100% compiled from source KDE using 
QTDIR/KDEDIR). Maybe DavidJ will have a chance to try this before me.
