The "standard" behavior when you ask for a resource is to give the local 
one, if it exists. AFAIK the only cases when something are acopied 
automatically are:
- the application's rc file (kdeveloprc), if some configuration option 
is modified
- the application's XMLGUI file (kdevelopui.rc) if the UI is modified, 
ie. there are some icons added/removed to toolbars

For the rest it is up to the application itself to copy the file to the 
local directory if it wants. I have no idea when kdevfilecreate.xml is 
modified and copied to the local dir.

What might be copied to the user directory, should have a version 
assigned, otherwise you will face this problem. Why the templates 
cannot get a version number?
