I'll have a look in the next days and will commit it then.

It does, but not in the GUI indeed. Enable the kdevplatform(shell) debug
area in kdebugdialog and then watch the output. If its not there, you
probably have KDEDIRS set inapropriately.

Not necessarily, it could also mean the plugin has no highlighting yet.

Dunno, look into the code to find out if it even has a highlighter. This
plugin still has quite some way to go before its fully usable AFAIK.
