The same problem exists with syntax highlighting.  If I open a header from OSG 
in KDevelop, the syntax highlighting is not activated.  OSG has the following 
as the first line in all files:

/* -*-c++-*- OpenSceneGraph - Copyright (C) 1998-2006 Robert Osfield

Some things detect that, and some (most) don't.  I believe there is a c++ 
header mime type string formally specified, or at least established by 
convention, which I would be happy to promote.
