This is working perfectly for me, but I am facing a small problem: I am 
writing a very simple graphical shell, and I want my program to quit once the 
appropriate program for that file type has been started. Unfortunately, if I 
invoke 

kapp->quit() 

immediately after instanciating a KRun object the "viewer" application never 
gets started.

Do you know how I can overcome this problem? I tried sleep()ing for a second 
but it didn't work.

Cheers,

Manuel
