It seems you are correct - this matches Waldo's findings too,
and explains why the change happened recently: when we removed
the link from the binary to the part (which was quite an ugly
design, the code being both linked to and dlopened).

Shawn: there you go. The fix is to either make the binary link the
part again, or the plugins link the part, or better, follow Waldo's
suggestion.

An ACL really doesn't help here. It's Werner and I who made this change
to all koffice apps, anyway :P
