Still better than crashes when mixing versions. The fact that KDE
automatically adds its plugin directory to the qtrc file opened a can of
worms. Unless you had all libraries and plugins configured identically
(threaded vs. non-threaded etc.) and compiled with the compiler it wasn't
possible to have and use different configuration in parallel. Plugin
loading is more solid now. Sorry for not having recognized potential
problems earlier.
