Hmm, why is it called KDevelop first? Do you use a setText call
somewhere? ProjectFolderItem uses the last part of the url as text
whenever the url is being provided (i.e. setUrl or constructor).

I guess we could introduce a new item type "ProjectRootItem" that is a
ProjectFolderItem subclass and uses project()->name() for text() instead
of url().fileName().

That solution would have the benefit of also creating a more robust way
of checking wether a given item is a root-level item (as parent() also
returns 0 if its just been created and not attached to a parent yet).
