KFileDialog::getExistingDirectory? Why are we using this method?

[Maniac]

Hello 
This is my second attempt at gettng an answer that seems like a 
BUG in the KDevelop source code.  I have asked on the kde-dev list why
KFileDialog is not derived from QFileDialog and I got an answer that

kde-dev Message-ID: <388D5EC0.2445BF06 at under.world>

>> QFileDialog is QT's file dialog with a completely different design than
>> KFileDialog which is the "official KDE one".
>> -Malte

Why are we using this method?  I have successfully got it to compile with 
#define getExistingDirectory getDirectory 
but I'm not confident that this is the correct fix. 
 I have looked at the source code for KFileDialog and it is derived from
QDialog and not QFileDialog.  
Do I have to continually hack the source code or is this BUG going to continue?

My KDE 2 is cvsupped at least every 48 hours and I just cvsupped KDevelop HEAD 
branch in the last 8 hours and I now have to hack the source code to get it to
compile.
