Sorry, my apologies.. I've now been looking at the sources in 
lib/interfaces/keditor and there is all sorts of fancy stuff using the Qt 
runtime. I had just been looking at the installed interface headers, where 
none of that was visible. And the '.._iface.h' filenames were automatically 
generated, so silly of me to complain about those header names.
