Looks like the KDE 4 stuff was added to darcs in Dec 2008, seems like
it should be in 0.8.1 (Jan 2009)

In any case, the only difference I can see between kdeConfig and
kde4Config is in the keybindings:

kdeKeys (XConfig {modMask = modm}) = M.fromList $
    [ ((modm,               xK_p), spawn "dcop kdesktop default popupExecuteCommand")
    , ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_q), spawn "dcop kdesktop default logout")
    ]

kde4Keys (XConfig {modMask = modm}) = M.fromList $
    [ ((modm,               xK_p), spawn "krunner")
    , ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_q), spawn "dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer org.kde.KSMServerInterface.logout int32:1 int32:0 int32:1")
    ]
