The reason that doesn't work is because LIBS += doesn't add include paths.
You need an includepath as well:
INCLUDEPATH += /some/path

Having said that.
You have also been told here and on the Qt mailing list that kdeui is not
adviced anymore, you should not use it.
You are probably looking for frameworks modules like KCoreAddons,
KGuiAddons or KWidgetsAddons [1].

If you want to use - for instance - KCoreAddons you simply install that
package in your distribution and add this line in your qmake file:
QT += KCoreAddons

That's also described on [1] for every framework.

And it works :)
