This is an update regarding the + and * keyboard issue with kdevelop/kate... on Apples X11.
I finally had time to forward this bug response on. Looks like Apple say's that it's not their bug. I know somebody put up a suggestion/work around for this but I cannot find it. It was regarding key mapping files.
It's debatable whether it's their bug (well, it's really XFree86's bug that they inherited). The problem is Xkb (the X keyboard extensions that are used for handling different input methods and such) is not properly supported on Mac OS X. KDE uses Xkb by default, and so things get messed up.
It can be remapped, and, in fact, should be fixed in the KDE 3.2 packages in unstable (I added the workaround to startkde).
Has anybody tested a work around for this?
Try adding this to your ~/.xinitrc before running startkde and see if it helps:
/usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap -e "keycode 74 = Right" /usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap -e "keycode 78 = Left" /usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap -e "keycode 80 = Down" /usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap -e "keycode 85 = Up"
