Yeah, as said, I just never had time to implement it (and was too dumb to get MacOS to trigger
the event).

Besides: No need for ifdefs, QFileOpenEvent is there on all platforms, just without function.

;) Added the same to KWrite, both should be fine now, at least for the cases
where we have some url.

But you are aware that KDE 4.x is in pure maintainance mode and for KF5 based stuff
the simplest solution will be the event filter (or adding ::event overwrite if the application
already has inherited from qapp)
