Why not simply create the QPixmap on the stack_
QPixmap kde_pixmap("...");

This is why KStandardDirs has been invented for.
#include <kstandarddirs.h>
KStandardDirs d;
QPixmap kde_pixmap(d.findResource("icon", "crystalsvg/16x16/apps/kmenu.png"));

Note that this has 2 limitations: Icon theme, and icon size. Both can be 
avoided when using methods such as SmallIcon("about_kde") (using 
KIconLoader).

- insert the standard help menu using helpMenu() into the menuBar()
- even better: use KXMLGUI
