Hi Andreas!  And welcome aboard ... :-)

You need to become familiar with how we do things in KDE, at:
    http://techbase.kde.org/Welcome_to_KDE_TechBase

That site contains lots of pages about developing within KDE.
including tutorials and policies, as well as how to become a developer
and how to get an account on the source-code repository and what its
structure is.

It is not clear where you are getting your KBounce source-code from.
Any patches need to be against the very latest version in "trunk".  Have
a browse around, to get the idea of it, at:
    http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdegames/

Oops!  I just looked there and I see you have been committing
quite a few changes to trunk already, but with no review, and
you are not (yet) AFAIK the maintainer of KBounce.

Ordinarily, that might not be a worry, although it is always good to do
things properly.  However, please see and be aware of:
    http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.3_Release_Schedule
and the explanations further down the page.

As you can see, we are in the late stages of releasing KDE 4.3, no
new features allowed, no new strings or changes to strings and art
work soon to be frozen.  That leaves bug fixes, which is what you
are doing, but beware of your fixes causing another bug (regression).

In later stages, we only fix real "showstopper" bugs (e.g. bugs
that stop KBounce working at all or cause a crash).  So please
tread very carefully ...

All the best, Ian W.
