Hi Sascha,

just install dropbox as described for gnome, then find the 
        dropboxd 
executable somewhere in your filesystem in a folder called 
        .dropbox-dist 
(note the dot at the beginning of the name)
once you have found dropboxd just put a link to the file in your 
desktop's autostart folder. 
        ~/.kde/Autostart or
        ~/.kde4/Autostart

The daemon will now run whenever you log in.

At this point all you need to do to use dropbox is drag files into 
your 
        ~/Dropbox
folder and it will pe propogated onto the network.
You can put a link to this folder on your desktop if you like, or in 
kde4 setup a folderview plasmoid for the files.

Note that dropbox will only actually update the folder when you are 
online (obviously) but you do not need to be online to add things 
to the local folder.

Hope this helps

see ya
