Thank you very much Waldo. Your much more simple and straight forward
way has undoubtedly saved me hours of frustration. I tried it and it
works like a charm! Thanks!

If you don't mind a brief follow up question; I believe I was trying to
do what you described, basically turn a plugin into a K/QApplication by
including and linking in all the required KDE libraries. In theory this
should have worked shouldn't it?
