Good job !  :)

I will update m4/gwqt.m4 to use AC_PATH_PROG instead of AC_CHECK_PROG so 
autoconf can find the right moc/uic in a modified path (which will 
include $QTDIR/bin).

Hmm,  actually it seems there is again a problem in the initializing 
process. JLayeredPane has the 'join' pass after JDesktopPane and so the 
superClass field is not set and kjc cannot check the inheritancy tree. I 
can only suggest to extract the initialization of the superClass field 
from the rest of the pass. It seems to be quite straightforward all the 
time... A temporary fix for the problem would be to swap the 
JLayeredPane and JDesktopPane in the list.
