Also, I think you should increment the value of version="n" at the
start of the ui.rc file (as a permanent change) every time you start
changing a ui.rc file.  This will cause it to override any older versions
that may be in your $HOME/.kde4 area (e.g. because of keyboard
config changes).  Ditto for any end-user of your released ui.rc file:
he/she will then get your version not the previous one.
