not quite. Some files are expected to be installed to the KDE standard dirs, 
and this should be the KDE4 standard dirs in this case. So a successful make 
install is needed (at least once, I'm not currently making any changes to the 
installed data files, but when I do, you will have to do make install, 
again).

I'm not sure, whether this might be what's causing rkward to crash so early on 
your and Prasenjit's systems, but it's certainly something that may cause 
trouble.

Hm. I'm not sure, where exactly the files should be installed in the Kubuntu 
KDE4 setup, but /share/apps/ definitely sounds wrong. Do you have 
the "KDEDIR" environment variable set (to a sensible place)?
# echo $KDEDIR

If so, could you redo the cmake step with
# cmake /path -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDEDIR

If it is not set, perhaps try
# cmake /path -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/kde4

(you might want to look there, whether there is a share/apps subdirectory with 
some kde4 files in there)

Thomas
