Oh, that's a tough question :)
There are two hierarchies of main window in KDevelop,
first is

KMainWindow
KParts::MainWindow
DMainWindow
SimpleMainWindow

which is used for "Simple Ideal Mode" (should be default in KDevAssistant).

and second is
 
KMainWindow
KParts::MainWindow
KMdiMainFrm
NewMainWindow

which is used for all other UI modes. Tabbed UI mode uses NewMainWindow
but all functionality is provided by KMdiMainFrm which is from kdelibs/kmdi.
For KDE4 we will not use kmdi-based one for sure.

The thing you're asking is probably KDockWidget class. It's created
somewhere in kmdi library code but the widget itself is from kdelibs/kdeui.

No, but this should be done globally at kdelibs level. Then KDevelop will have
the ability to import/export shortcuts.
