kioslave nogui

[Kåre Särs]

Hi,

What version of Qt are you using?

I think this might be a Qt bug that you are encountering. 

https://www.mail-archive.com/kde-windows@kde.org/msg07290.html

There was a patch for KIO to workaround the problem, but it was rejected because the proper fix 
is in Qt 5.8.

For building Kate on windows I check the Qt version and apply the attached patch if the Qt 
version is less than 5.8
