As you're familiar with Qt, and therefore C++, you have a huge headstart on 
most people interesting in KDE development.

To learn how to do things the KDE way, you have two options to explore:  
Read the KDE documentation on http://developer.kde.org/ and Learn 
from/Borrow code from existing KDE applications.

One small, relatively simple KDE game that does things the KDE way is 
megami, to be released in KDE 3.1 and available at 
http://www.freekde.org/neil/megami/ right now.  It shows you how to use 
the standard UI elements, how to add your own custom elements to the 
menus, how to use keyboard accelerators and allow the user to configure 
them, and how to use KConfig.  About the only common task it doesn't 
illustrate is using KMessageBox.

Of course, any extra questions you have can be asked on kde-devel@kde.org 
or here.  This list being better for game-specific questions, and 
kde-devel being a wider audience for general kdelibs questions.

Good luck,
