Okay, another update: I simplified this again, so that the event filter is now 
automatically installed as soon as the library is loaded. You don't even need 
to modify your application any more. Just set LD_PRELOAD and run any kde/qt 
application, and you will have the functionality available there. E.g:

LD_PRELOAD=libkuiextractor.so kontact

Actually, the ui extraction is also quite useful to figure out layouting 
problems (see e.g. the current kontact summary view: 
http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/~reinhold/Kontact_SummaryView.ui). The huge empty 
spaces in the summary view were actually caused by reall spacer items that 
were inserted manually.
I removed them, and now together with Tobias' fixes (grid layout changed to 
two VBoxLayouts) the summary view looks beautiful again...

PS: David or Kalle, this might be a nice use for your shoot-a-bug, which is 
also useful together with the ui extractor: Shift+Alt+Left click makes the 
widget blink, that will be extracted by the ui extractor... (That was 
actually what I've been doing all along. However, your shootabug.h doesn't 
contain any copyright/license information, so I couldn't include it here). If 
you think it can be included in this library, feel free to merge the 
shoot-a-bug event filter with ours (or just tell me).
Eventually, the kuiextractor will be moved from kdenonbeta to kdesdk.
