thanks for taking the time to check this, and for contacting us about this. I 
have add checks for a null-pointer in our SVN (and should have done so 
earlier; I am subscribed to kwrite-devel, and therefore I was aware of the 
problem since a while).

Probably we will not switch to the new interface before KDE 4.5.0 is out. 
Should we experience any problems, I'll let you know on kwrite-devel.

Thanks for keeping the SmartInterface working for KDE 4.5. That really makes 
the transition much easier for us.

Regards
Thomas
