small bug

I could not believe how a header file that includes itself would change the 
compile. I was in doubt about everything I know about c++ ;-)

Now I understand the reason: the template file has the same name as the class 
you use "kscreensaver", so the include does actually not include itself after 
the template got processed but the KDE class definition. 
The correct solution would be to rename the template files to another name, 
right?

That leads to another small glitch in the project wizard. If I type 
kscreensaver as my project name the wizard happily creates kscreensaver.h and 
kscreensaver.cpp! This can create quite some trouble for people who start 
learning KDE. Could the wizard check the project name against KDE and maybe 
QT class names and prevent the user to create an already existing class?
