I'm not sure I understand the problem :-)

Ahh, I see a guiFactory()->addClient( this ) call in the KDevelop
constructor. Replacing it with a createGUI( 0 ) call and getting rid of
the second createGUI( 0 ) call after initComponents() should make things
work (actually the second createGUI() call doesn't hurt -> it would do
nothing ) . The point is just that createGUI (even when called with
0L) takes care of building/adding the shell GUI (and doing that only
once) . (see KParts::MainWindow::createGUI implementation yourself ;-)

So the order would be: First the shell GUI (by the createGUI( 0 ) call),
followed by the GUIs of the "static" components, followed by dynamically
activated component GUIs (parts managed by a partmanager instance ) .
