Found it !!! =85 :-)  The patch will be just one executable line,
        QApplication::setGraphicsSystem("raster");
with a few lines of explanation and Q_OS_MAC conditional.
That fix will force *all* KDE apps to use Raster.

It can go in kdeui/kernel/kapplication.cpp in the procedure called
void KApplicationPrivate::preqapplicationhack().  Evidently, KDE already
has some things to do just before the QApplication object starts up.

I am working on how to build a non-MacPorts version of kdelibs in my
development area, so that I can test this patch properly.  It will be a
few days before I can send you the finished code.

Cheers, Ian W.
