Adding a non-portable handle to a portable handle seems wrong somehow,
but lacking a better plan I guess it will have to be that. Well, as "WId winid" to be portable, not int.
And then, I'm not even sure it can be defaulted to 0, since iirc WId is a pointer on Windows
(doesn't appear in my qwindowdefs.h though, must be defined in a qt-win-specific file).

Well, a better plan would be to use a QWidget* instead.

But both things require QtGui so maybe this shouldn't be in KInstance after all.
