Hi 

Thanks for your answer. I actually did exactly as you suggest. Ran make, make and make install in
Kirigami directory. The installs to /usr/local/lib/qml/org/kde/kirigami.2 and I copied it into the Qt install set.

Your idea with plugin.qmltypes could be the answer, that was not part of /usr/local/lib/qml/org/kde/kirigami.2
I will experiment a bit and see what I come up with.
