I get the same thing. If I right-click in Konqueror file browser and 
choose "Create New" > "Text File...", it creates a symlink 
to /Programs/KDE-Base/3.5.3/Shared/templates/.source/TextFile.txt. Similarly 
with all the other file types that appear in that section of the "Create New" 
submenu. It's not restricted to the entries from KDE-Base: Creating a new 
office text document makes a link 
to /Programs/KOffice/1.6.1/Shared/templates/.source/TextDocument.kwt.
