Hi

I looked into this and found where it was going wrong. I put a patch on the 
kdevelop ftp incoming site. I forget what it was called now 
kdevelop-something-something.patch ???

Have a look - there's 4 or 5 patches there for kdevelop1.2 - you'll want this 
one and another for the debugger about expanding variables.

If you have problems let me know :-)
