You're right - the naming scheme is wrong. Will think about it :)

The kdewin-installer is for the end-user and 'app' - developer. It
installs all needed things to run kde apps and build 'external' apps
based on kdelibs.
emerge on the other side is for the kde(libs) developer. It compiles all
from source so the developer can debug al things down to qt.

Yes, please. Also if you've problems setting up a build env - don't
think anyone can help you on kde-games-devel with that :)

btw: we've also an irc channel: #kde-windows


And regarding your kgoldrunner problem - looks like someone forgot to
read the QPainter docu. I really wonder why it worked on linux ... :)

btw: moved dicussion to kde-windows
