Ok, now here is the full story: I have some experience with programming and
wanted to get into graphical/GUI/KDE programs. I had a rather frustrating
time with all the magic going on in KDevelope. And I just read some articles
on usability bevor I wrote the bug report. It wasn't very easy to find the
correct dialog and once I found it still didn't work since I didn't know,
what I was expected to fill in.

I am using KDevelop 2.1 and don't have a "what's this" help in the dialog. I
can't just take a look at the CVS version but I still thought it would
improve the usability of the dialog a lot for unexperienced users and it
would come at no cost. Ecouraged by the about dialog (However, you - the
user - must tell us when something does not work as expected or could be
done better.) I thought give it a try and report you opinion. It wasn't very
easy since the system didn't accept KDevelop < 3.?? ...

Personally I think it is not the same as mentioning in the help file so I
really think it would improve the usability of KDevelop.

I have no clue what you are talking about. Until now I haven't found a save
way to change the Makefile.am within KDevelop. I had another problem where
the solution was to add a dummy.cpp in my dialogs-directory since there
where only user interfaces and no source files and the target couldn't be
made but that is another story.

After all I must admit I am a little bit disapointed. Although I had great
tutorials and read a lot it was difficult to understand the KDevelop way of
life. I am aware of the fact, that I am using an very old version and I do
think that much of it is just because I don't have enough experience with
KDevelop but I hope that you are trying to understand what a new user does
not understand. :-)

Anyways, I like KDevelop more and more and want to thank you for your great
work!

Bye,
