Here comes the fix attached to this email! :-)

Please test and report your experiences to me.
A KDeveloper must give me the OK to commit this fix for the severe crash 
that always follows the focus problem for KDevelop-2.1.1. Harry, Roland, 
Walter?

The reason for the bug is changed behaviour in newer Qt versions 
(QT_VERSION >=  300). Qt doesn't set the QFocusEvent::m_reason not any 
more as they did before. To my mind it's an introduced bug in Qt. 
Anyway, the bug slept during the beta stages of KDevelop-2.1 and hit us 
now with the last code-completion feature addons during the last release 
candidates of KDevelop.
