Firstly, the official adblock kplugin dll doesn't apparently doesn't work in 1.6 so the adblock toolbutton isn't showing up.
The Configuration can be accessed through Tools -> AdBlockPlus. This is the main preference window.
The biggest problem right now is the Blockable Elements window isn't working correctly... it can't get the element list for the current page. This may be because without the DLL, opening the chrome page with "opennew" results in a new parent window.
What DOES work:
1. Adblocking off existing pattern lists.
2. Adding new filters in the configuration
3. Importing of pattern lists
4. Subscriptions
What DOESN'T work:
1. Blockable Elements Window
2. Toolbar/Statusbar Icon
edit: updated link, the previous version had an oversight.

@all
Give me two or three days - I will examine the source code. I think I can fix the code slightly so that all elements have been working...
In addition, I am waiting a reply from Wladimir Palant
Colleagues, I received a reply from Vladimir. Here is the text:
==========================================================
I know that Adblock Plus works in K-Meleon with no problems, if you do not need a user interface. The problem is just to make the UI functional. Macros will not succeed.
Source code for Adblock Plus for K-Meleon moved to https://hg.adblockplus.org/adblockpluskmeleon/
Try to run the nightly builds, they are clearly more efficient.
Here: https://adblockplus.org/devbuilds/adblockpluskmeleon/
Automatic creation of builds does not work (the server is Linux), but at least it will automatically create a list. Must also update manually, of course.
==========================================================
Incidentally, I'm (Alex) now looked superficially the structure of files and folders of AdBlock Plus, and found that there were some misunderstandings ...
For example, in adblockplus.manifest specified skin "classic", but "new" version of AdBlock Plus structure of folders and files has changed, and there is NO skin classic...So must be carefully checked. Who can help with this?
Alex, there doesn't need to be a folder named "classic" for the skin - it was only there for compatibility with SeaMonkey 1.x. Now that everybody moved on (even K-Meleon) it is unnecessary.

The only js code that seemed to be conflicting in 1.2.2 was the fennec compatibility code.
And some code that queried the firefox extension manager.
the toolbar & status bar icons of ABP seem to work; just right-click on the ABP icon in KM and a context menu appears. I'm using the latest dev build of ABP under K-meleon 1.6b2.
Blockable Elements UI still needs some improvement. Also selecting About Adblock Plus from the ABP Help menu in the Preferences dialog box shows an empty window instead of displaying the ABP version number and credits.

The files in this directory are work in progress towards creating an Adblock Plus version that would be compatible with K-Meleon 1.6. These builds will work only with K-Meleon 1.6 and they are not completely functional yet.

indeed. latest ABP dev build for KM is only for KM 1.6 and not for any other version, not even for KM 1.7 (sorry, didn't pay close enough attention). found out the unpleasant way that the ABP dev builds for KM there crashes KM 1.7.
oh well, I'll wait for newer KM 1.7 alphas/betas and newer ABP dev builds for KM to be released.

The current development build (Adblock Plus for K-Meleon 1.3.5a2.145) fixes some issues:
* ABP icon state now works correctly with multiple windows
* Issue reporter succeeds sending a report
* About dialog is available now
* Links will open correctly in a K-Meleon tab now
Remaining known issues:
* List of blockable items doesn’t show anything
* K-Meleon crashes if the report link is clicked after submitting the report
* ABP icon state doesn’t update correctly when switching from/to a blank tab
* Window sizes aren’t persisted properly
* “Tabs on Flash and Java” feature doesn’t work
* Left-click and middle-click on the icons won’t work
* Search in Preferences window is only partially working (this is K-Meleon bug 1237)

Restored status bar icon's left-click functionality
Fixed: "Open menu" as left-click action on toolbar icon doesn't work
Fixed middle-click processing on toolbar and status bar icons
Fixed: abp: links do not work
UPDATE: dev build 1.3.5a2.151 available
changes:
Add missing findbar preference and interface ourselves to work around K-Meleon bug 1237
Fix window.openDialog() emulation, simulate window.opener on dialogs opened (required for list of blockable items)
One bug.. Using Klassic theme, when you click on Options and tick off Status Bar and remove tick from Toolbar, the little red icon continues to show up in both places.
Quote Matt
Can't reproduce it with AuraAlpha nor Klassic, which looks awful but it's just my opinion.
ABP 1.3.5a2.155, K-M Beta2, Win7
Matt,
I'll try a fresh install and make adblock the first extension and get back to you.
P.S. OK, fresh install and it doesn't matter what I tell it to do in Options. I get the little AdBlock icon in both toolbar and status.
adblockpluskmeleon-1.3.5a2.155
--EDITED--
UPDATE: the new Adblock Plus toolbar icon still stays there, even when I uncheck the ABP toolbar option from its Options/Preferences menu. but the ABP status bar icon option turns on and off correctly on Win2000, XP, Vista and Seven.

the bug can't be re-produced in either Vista or Win7, ndebord. new Adblock Plus toolbar and status bar icon options work correctly in Vista/Win7.
on other versions of Windows (like Win2k or WinXP), the new Adblock Plus toolbar icon still stays there, even when I uncheck the ABP toolbar option from its Options/Preferences menu. but the ABP status bar icon option turns on and off correctly on Win2000/XP.
45d8s,
OK then, as I run XP PRO SP3, I guess I can live with 2 adblock plus toolbar icons for now.

ndebord, I've just edited my previous post. ABP toolbar icon option in any version of Windows does not work properly. ABP status bar icon, though, works as expected.

Thanks... this is how KM 1.6.0b2 adblock looks on my XP PRO SP3 laptop with Toolbar turned off and status bar turned on.

Hmm...did you do anything different on your KM on Win7 that might have caused the change? I ask because on my Win7 64b laptop there's no immovable abp toolbar problem, but on my WinXP SP3 desktop, there is.
I am using K-Meleon 1.6.2Beta with Windows XP SP3 and AdBlock.
I too have the AdBlock LINE, but, it is NOT a TOOLBAR. Let me explain.
If I go to Full Screen ( F11 ) . . . it still shows. Second, I changed the BACKGROUND colour of my toolbars . . . and . . . the AdBlock area is a DIFFERENT colour.
I suspect, but, cannot say for certain . . . it is part of MANIFEST ? ? ?

Just a thought.

My XP machine is not working at the moment but if it's a manifest problem, try removing lines not applicable to KM. 30-35, then 1-8.
