That looks really cool, exactly as I'd like it :)
The problem is I haven't KDE-4 installed which is needed for kdevelop-4 as the 
webpage says.. 
I just looked through Kdevelop-4's cppcodecompletion.cpp, at it looks a lot 
like the one I started with on kdevelop-3, so maybe my stuff can be just be 
copied in there..

Maybe I can just split the filling of the completion-box using a timer or 
something..

I don't exactly understand what you mean.. but I think I would like to 
contribute, since kdev-4 is the future. Although currently I don't think I 
have that much time to take a specific role/task.. I already spent a bit too 
much time on kdevelop-3 and should spend a bit more time with my studies :-)

How fare is kdevelop-4 actually, is it that far that it can be effectively 
used to develop itself?
