KRun needs a K/QApplication in order to work, I don't think that's something 
you want to do in a plugin.

The following is slightly slower but much easier since you don't need to link 
against any KDE code:

system("kfmclient exec /tmp/test.txt");

Make sure you properly quote/escape the filename so that you don't run into 
problems if the file happens to be named rm -rf ~

Cheers,
Waldo
