As Carsten stated this is the reason for the binary incompatibale change :)
But you might also have run into this problem because I made a mistake in
Minicli and did

// m_runCombo->setDuplicatesEnabled( false );    // Avoid duplicate entries.

This will defintely be a problem in history list like rotation.  It will be
removed when I clean up Minicli and change it to use KRun instead of
KShellProcess :)
