Most probably because of some tool automatically inserted there when the 
classes were created or the developer is not aware that starting from 
g++ 4.1 (it is in SUSE 10.1 and I believe also in FC5) they are an 
error. Earlier g++ versions accepted it. So the solution is to remove 
those extra qualifiers and send the patch to the kdevelop list (or 
here) and someone will apply it. ;-)
