why is kdevelop crashing all the time on latest kde2?

well, i do not know when exactly i found out the right thing, but after ~10 
recompilations kdevelop works fine now - with qt and qt-mt linked to a 
threaded libGL, and all kde libs and applications compiled --enable-mt.
your suggestion would of course work if i did not need opengl in kde 
applications ... but my current project is a kde application with an opengl 
widget - so i need to link my project to libGL, which is threaded, so i need 
libqt-mt, but i can only use libqt-mt with threaded kdelibs ...
and well ... i did this all now, my desktop is stable as it was before - i 
really do not know what initially caused the problem ...

>If you do it this way I'm interested in the results.
here you are ...

bye,
