This should only happen when you compile against KDE 3.1.3 (in 3.1 BRANCH in CVS) and
run it against "old" KDE 3.1.2 libraries which have a bug in writePathEntry().
The full code in uml.cpp reads:
#if KDE_IS_VERSION(3,1,3)
		config -> writePathEntry( "lastFile", doc -> URL().prettyURL() );
#else
		config -> writeEntry( "lastFile", doc -> URL().prettyURL() );
#endif

this means, that writePathEntry() will only be used, if you compile
for KDE 3.1.3 or above. Thus, you shouldn't get those problems.

Do you maybe have some old kde libraries around in your system ?

#if KDE_IS_VERSION(3,1,3) automatically expands to something like
"if KDE_VERSION >= 3.1.3", so all versions above 3.1.3 are included.
Please read in kdeversion.h.
