The template for the admin subdirectory shipped with the KDevelop-2 is 
rather outdated. Take the admin directory which you can get from the KDE 
CVS (see instructions on

http://www.kdevelop.org/index.html?filename=kdevelop-2.x.html

Since you use the KDE-3.1 you should take the

cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous at anoncvs.kde.org:/home/kde co -r KDE_3_1_BRANCH kde-common 

though the HEAD or KDevelop-3 version should work also.

Now, just replace your project admin directory's content with the new one.

How to generalize the behaviour ?

If you take a look into the $KDEDIR/share/apps/kdevelop/templates you will find the admin.tar.gz file there. 
If the new admin worked for you, just package it the same way as the old one is and place it instead of the old one.

I hope it helps - it is the way it worked for me.
