'KDKOBJC-0.1.tar.gz' contains various patches to support Objective-C
development with KDevelop 1.1 in the KDE environment, and six KDevelop
projects to cover the complete GNUstep 0.6.5 source tree. 

But there's no api yet for Qt/KDE programming in Objective-C/GNUstep
Foundation (work continues!). However,  a KDE Objective-C programming
environment would be very nice. Objective-C is a more straightforward language
to learn  than C++, and the OpenStep (now Cocoa) Foundation kit as implemented
by the GNUstep project is a 'design classic' in my opinion...

In the meantime you can have a look at what Objective-C programming looks like
with KDevelop by trying the above set of patches etc. I wouldn't get too
diverted from learning the Qt/KDE api though (I bought 'Programming with Qt' by
Matthias Dalheimer a couple of months ago, and haven't got beyond the 'hello
world' example yet - we people in glass houses should be careful about advising
others  ;-) ).
