  Maybe they don't have the same view of what's useful?

  What's that supposed to mean? The patch wasn't rejected because of the feature (applying a profile apparently intended only for child processes), not because of its implementation.

  So how do you set a variable without a value? It may sound weird but who's to guarantee that no software ever distinguishes a variable set to an empty value vs. any other value?

  And do what in the script? Besides, a script is suitable solution only on platforms where you launch KDevelop from the commandline and not via some sort of graphical shell.
