Just a hint - For such purposes there are tools like astyle.  
Unfortunally I haven't found any coding style on the umbrello web site.

As a hint kdelibs uses the style defined on 
http://techbase.kde.org/Policies/Kdelibs_Coding_Style which *follows the 
Qt 4 coding style.*

astyle --indent=spaces=4 --brackets=linux \
       --indent-labels --pad=oper --unpad=paren \
       --one-line=keep-statements --convert-tabs \
       --indent-preprocessor \
       `find -type f -name '*.cpp'` `find -type f -name '*.h'`
