Thanks,

that help me out for a while. I only looked at the subdirs entry
and changing that order didn't work.

Is somebody out there who is collecting such work-arounds for KDevelop 1.0
for a FAQ/Known Issues page for the stuff that isn't going to be changed/fixed
in 1.0 ? It would be nice if somebody found the time to dig through
the mailing list archive for such things and put them together
in a nice FAQ to include with the KDevelop 1.0 final distribution.
I think there are a lot of work-arounds like this which are just
kludges for now but increase the usabilty of 1.0 tremendously.
If nobody is trying to do that yet or nobody else volunteers, I would be
willing to carve some hours out of me sparetime and collect such kludges.

Cheers,
Mathias
