Ok. There is libkicker_internal which is a static library. This defines 
PGlobal::pluginmgr. This static library is included by other libraries. E.g. 
a scan for PGlobal shows that the following libraries define PGlobal:
/ext/kde2.0/lib/libquicklauncher.so[.1.0.0]
/ext/kde2.0/lib/libchildpanelextension.so[.1.0.0]
/ext/kde2.0/lib/kicker.so

Since the link order is a bit different when you use kdeinit, you end up with 
2 different instances of PGlobal::pluginmgr, one which is initialized and one 
which is 0, this gives problems.

The correct solution is to make libkicker_internal a shared library so that 
the same instance will be shared among all modules.

Cheers,
Waldo
