I was able to find the problem in src/lprofqt/main.cpp :  
set_Current_Dir()

I have no clue why this was working on the QT3 lprof but broke on the  
new one. Anyway, seems to be running now. As a side effect I now see  
lprof localized in german and also the error message about icoms is  
gone.

It's in CVS.

My fault, you are off correct - it's in the same dir as the lprof  
binary.

I see some of the minor items I wrote earlier are fixed. When I have  
more time I will re-test all.
