Sorry but yesterday morning I was @ university, and in the evening I
compiled KDE 4.4 =P
By the way today I had a look to the code, fixed ( seems it works fine,
however tell me if something is wrong ) and committed.
The key point ( imo ) is that by typing:

 QRegExpValidator *pluginname_validator = new
QRegExpValidator(ui->projectName);


you are simply telling to pluginname_validator "Hey, your parent is a
QObject reference called projectName"; but also a QWidget
could be a valid parent, or a QString. It doesn't know how to parse a
regular expression with a given QObject reference, that's up to us.
However, I removed all QRegExp* statement from setupWidgets(), and connected
signals from projectName to a slot I created to
parse the text and find unwanted characters. Let me know if it works !

P.S.: after upgrading to KDE4.4, PlasMate menu has changed: now it shows
entries like "Game", "Edit", "Move", "View", "Go",
and "Bookmarks", "Tools" O.o
The same problem appears with KTorrent.
