Excuse me if the page is not reachable, I'm upgrading my server and still have 
some problems...
Maybe what you said is fine, but Konqueror preloads its instances without 
checking if their xmlfile is the same. So, if I have a preloaded instance of 
konqueror with "konqueror.rc" xmlfile, it will be loaded also if the 
requested konqueror wants a "konq-simplebrowser.rc" xmlfile. And that's just 
a working example.

Now, maybe the patch isn't correct, but it prevents this from happening. It 
can be used at least as a workaround (I'm using it since I posted it here and 
never got problems). But I thinks kded doesn't check if the xmlfile is the 
same...
For the rest of the patch, wait to read my explanation... and excuse me again 
for the problems.

I'm also rewriting a part of the patch after the David Faure's answer.

Thanks for your attention :) !
