I know the problem with KDE, but I don't know how to fix it: Konqueror excutes 
scripts (Gambas executables are scripts) only if the script interpreter (the 
first line of the script) is "well known", i.e. something like #!/bin/sh or 
#!/usr/bin/perl.

I think that creating a .desktop file somewhere should solve the problem, but 
I have no more information!
