forget that, i was stupid.
first, you should write a "proper" constructor:
    KUserGroup( const KUserGroup& src ) : d( src.d ) {}
then d is not initialized with the default constructor first.

as the resulting code is different from the assignment operator anyway
(i forgot the implicit d initialization), the inlining idea is moot (if
the code would be the same, it would have made sense to alias one to the
other this way:

class KUserGroup {
public:
    KUserGroup( const KUserGroup& src ) { *this = src; }
}

but using inline for simply aliasing is a stupid idea in c++ anyway, as
the compiler always creates backup copies of the inline function, thus
one does not save (exported) symbols, on the contrary (there is one backup
copy in every object including the class declaration). using inline for
pure aliasing works only outside class definitions when one prepends
"static" to the "inline").
