For now, I only implemented loading circuit files and importing projects. 
There is some code in ktl-project branch, which is able to add and remove 
files in the project, but I had some problems with it, so I haven't merged it 
into kde4-port, yet.

If you open a circuit file, there should at least happen something. If no 
plugin handling circuit files can be found, you will get an error message and 
will be asked, if you want to open the file as plain text. If the plugin is 
found, it should load the circuit file. SVG files for most of the components 
are shipped, so you should see most of the circuit. If you don't see any 
components (only the "wires"), there is a problem with basic_ec plugin. I 
fixed some issues in there, so you might want to update your tree.

If error messages complaining about missing plugins pop up, make sure plugins 
are loaded. If they don't show up in the Plugin-list, re-run kbuildsycoca4. At 
the moment, only the Circuit plugin should show up in the list, all others are 
loaded as so-called "project" plugins. This is done in the background.

Well, I hope this helped a bit..

bye then
