No and neither will a usable KDE4 desktop be installed. Wait until the
KDE 4.0 release or at least a release candidate is released to get the
desktop. For KDevelop you have to wait some time longer. Its currently
kind of a shell around kate+projectmanagement. But its unstable and not
expected to be usable for development.

Well, opening source code works and editing is part of Kate not
KDevelop. I don't know how well the custom makefile manager works, the
others are mostly unusable. Running make on the currently selected
project works too but I don't know if it works more than once.

Why don't you use KDevelop3 for developing your application? That one
has far more support for C++ especially things like code navigation and
completion and is much more mature.
