As I wrote in the other mail, here the problem isn't exactly what you 
described. The executable link to a library  - which is in its RPATH - 
which links to another library - which is also in the RPATH of the 
executable -, still this second library is not found by the executable, 
because the first library doesn't have any RPATH entries.
If -DKDE4_USE_ALWAYS_FULL_RPATH=ON would fix this issue as well, I'd vot 
for making it the default option.
