Can't find anything good either.
The weird thing is that I am quite positive that kdialog at least had such an 
option at some point, but it doesn't seem to have it now :(

The best thing I can come up with is using kdialog --msgbox and the output of 
any KDE program's --version and/or --author, e.g.

kdialog --msgbox "$(plasma-desktop --version)" 

If someone feels up to a "junior job",  adding an about dialog to kdialog's 
capabilities should be quite easy.

Cheers,
Kevin
