ok, so why is kde 4.1 the minimal requirement?
Works fine with 4.0.5 on ubuntu 8.04 ;)

Will be of not much help for you (but maybe for other having the same
problem), but personally I could solve this on my machine by changing a
line in the configure script in mlt/src/modules/qimage:

from

qimage_libdir=/usr/lib/qt4

to 

qimage_libdir=/usr/lib

Works fine using kde4 but would be nice if your wizard would also work for users of other environments beside of kde4 ;)
Running gnome or xfce the wizard gives an error, since kioclient and kde4-config could not be found.
