Indeed, the problem was, KDE not finding ui_standards.rc. But
/etc/kde3/ui/ui_standards.rc was in place. Finally, an strace showed
me, that KDE programs only search in $HOME/.kde/share/config/ui for
that file, but not in the system-wide directories. So, as an
intermediate solution, I copied ui_standards.rc to my personal KDE
tree. Does anyone know how KDE determines the directories to search
for this file. Does it depend on environment variables?

Best regards,

Maybe that's your problem too - let us know ?

[aside: I'm wondering quite how or where we should report bugs or
problems in the download.kde.org packages.  This list would be the
right place only if the packager reads the list (as the previous
packagers for Woody did/do).  Andreas, are you here ?]
