the documentation installs fine for me and I can access it through the help 
menu with no problem (SuSE 8.0, kde is installed on /opt/kde3 and I compiled 
with configure --prefix=/opt/kde3 )

I am sure the problem is in the configuration... if you install to a directory 
which is not the base dir of KDE and dont tell it about it, you'll get into 
problems (this is the typical "my toolbars dont have any icons" problem)
you can either (somehow) tell KDE where your doc is, or install to the right 
location, or make a symlink from your KDEDIR/share/doc/HTML/en/ dir to where 
you have your documentation.

note that the user manuall is a little out-dated... I'm working on the new 
version.
