Hmmm... Solution is simple, I believe, and writing dialogs by hand is so ... 
not-modern :-)  (coming from a guy that writes all his dialogs by hand ... :-)

KDE at a given moment relies on the given qt-copy. UIC of a given qt doesn't 
change over time. Thus, regenerating the sources (on your home machine) each 
time we change qt should suffice.

Then the make process uses the generated files. But let the uic files in the 
CVS, not used in the building, and add a readme item somewhere explaining to 
adventurous people who compile with different qt's to check if regenerating 
sources would help be that compiling errors occur.
