The actual problem here is relying on KDE availability when what you really 
want/need is Qt (and nothing else). It's a bad idea anyway IMHO when you want 
to create platform independent applications, so I decided early on to never 
rely on KDE or anything else of that sort ;).

I know this doesn't really help to solve the problem, but if you need KDE 
you'll have to wait for KDE (5) itself being ported and widely spread... 
AFAICT, this will be at least a year from now or so.
