Yes, you are right, and it breaks when you specify multiple arguments, but it 
does not always work even with one argument! KProcess::quote("~/dir/foo") 
returns  '~/dir/foo', which is not good for apps. I've tried it with kompare 
and cat.

andris@stein:~/cvs-developement/head/quanta> cat '~/.kderc'
cat: ~/.kderc: No such file or directory

Is this the desired behaviour of KProcess:quote()?

Otherwise thank you for pointing out, I've never tried the plugin system with 
arguments (as I'm not the author of this code)...
