Ok, here is an update from us:

We´ll release a KDK-1.3 together with a KDevelop 1.3 during the next
weeks (we´re not ready yet). This will include updated templates. For
those who want to start right now, there are two ways:

a) get KDevelop 1.3 from anon CVS, use -rKDEVELOP_1_0 as tag
b) uncheck all libraries in the options dialog for your project and
replace this with $(LIB_KFILE) or a higher lib if required. I don´t know
exactly why the app is crashing if linking normally with -l´s but it
does due to a libpng bug. The $() helps instead and is also used in
KDevelop 1.3.

I hope this helps those who have problems currently. The CVS template
for kde2normal already makes use of xml stuff and is able to be used
with designer and uic.
