What version of do you use?
dpkg -l *kdelibs\* kpdf kedit | grep ^[^up]
What your output of:
$ strace kpdf 2>&1 | grep ui_standards
access("/home/ach/.kde/share/config/ui/ui_standards.rc", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/etc/kde3/ui/ui_standards.rc", R_OK) = 0
stat64("/etc/kde3/ui/ui_standards.rc", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=6130, ...}) = 0
open("/etc/kde3/ui/ui_standards.rc", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 10
compare with output of a app that finds the ui_standards file in /etc/.
What version has this package?

that's strange. What do you get:
$ locate ui_standards.rc
/etc/kde3/ui/ui_standards.rc
$ kde-config --path config
/home/ach/.kde/share/config/:/etc/kde3/
$ ls -l /usr/share/config
ls: /usr/share/config: No such file or directory

No.

that's a workaround that hides the real problem ;)

Right. This normally is the standard kde behaviour.

I suggest any sarge KDE user with problems to include
testing-proposed-updates in it's sources list: E.g.,
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sarge-proposed-updates main contrib non-free
don't forget to logout/login and restart kdm ;)

You discover truth everytime you use it.
