KBDesktop::scan gets run several times during startup, for instance to locate 
the plugin parts (forms, reports, ...), to locate extra libraries 
(libkbase_extra, which actually contains the macros) and to locate drivers.  
Its a sort of stripped-down KTrader, so that rekall can build with KDE/Qt or 
Qt-only.

I guess you mean creating the rekall-level "database", ie., the entry in the 
database window?

Can you email the console output, i'll have a look at that and see if i can 
spot anything likely looking
