That means any non-KDE Qt application that loads a KDE plugin (such as Oxygen) 
will get this code run. I don't know if this was your intention, but I felt I 
needed to point out.

Also, the initialisation the way you did it with QBasicAtomicInt isn't thread-
safe. You may as well use a simple boolean.

What you're looking for is the Q_ONCE code that I have not added yet to Qt.
