Slightly wrong mailinglist, kde-core-devel is better for code that lives in
kdelibs.

Well, maybe the author of the code expects those member to be always
non-null, which means that there's an error elsewhere that needs to be
found and fixed.

Looking through the code in kfilewidget, neither the d member nor the
d->ops member can possibly be null. Both are created inside the
constructore of KFileWidget and both are deleted inside the destructor of
KFileWidget/KFileWidgetPrivate and nowhere else. So the only option left is
that koffice uses KFileWidget in a wrong way, or your builds are wrong
(meaning should remove install and builddir and start building from
scratch).
