You map schematic symbols to pcb symbols using CvPcb. in your schematic, it's the 3rd icon from right, in the toolbar above your editor window
The work process is normally as follows:
- Create your schematics
- Generate netlist
- Assign foot prints to the components, using CvPcb
- Re-generate netlist, as it now will contain info about footprints.
- Load netlist in pcbNew
- Do your layout in pcbNew

Thx, this should get me started. I've never successfully designed a pcb before. I had a look at Eagle a few month ago and gave up. I hove I'll have more success with KiCad. Your help is very welcome. :)
@Jan-Gatzke I haven't gotten as far as you (i.e. I haven't gotten started wih pcb design yet) but I have collected a few guides that I think will help me to get going. Maybe they are useful for you as well:
