| Okay, I did a make install, and the behavior has not changed (still no 
| tooltip option on the help menu).  ~/.kde/share/apps/KimDaba does not 
| exist, so there is no rc file in it.  During startup kimdaba complains 
| about the lack of an rc file.  It says:
| 
| shawn at zedd:~$ kimdaba
| kimdaba: WARNING: KXMLGUIClient::setXMLFile: cannot find .rc file 
| kimdabaui.rc
| kimdaba: WARNING: KLocale: trying to look up "" in catalog. Fix the program

| I do have one other idea about what may be causing it... I didn't set 
| --prefix when configuring, so make install installs to the default 
| location /usr/local/kde, which is not where kde lives on my Debian sid 
| system.  Could this matter?  To get it in the path I just symlinked /usr/
| local/kde/bin/kimdaba to /usr/local/bin.
| 
| Manually copying /usr/local/kde/share/apps/kimdaba/kimdabaui.rc to ~/.kde/
| share/apps/kimdaba/ causes kimdaba to stop complaining and shows the 
| option in the help menu.
| 
| So, it looks like a pathing issue.  I probably need to figure out what 
| options to give to configure so that it will install in the "right" 
| places...  I presume that will allow kimdaba to find the global rc file, 
| rather than having to use a user-specific file.
you need to set KDEDIRS:
export KDEDIRS=/usr/local/kde:$KDEDIRS
