I can't provide answers, but I can commiserate. ;-(  I've always been baffled 
by CVS and how various tools are supposed to work in conjunction with it.  
I'm at about the same satage as you regarding settign up a remote CVS 
repository.

What I just did was, outside of KDevelop, make distclean. I did this before I 
imported the project.  As for adding the correct files after you start 
coding, I really don't know what to do.  I assume it's whatever is left after 
a make distclean.  But does that mean I need to add each new file by hand? 
Yuck!

There's got to be a better way!  I've seen better.  Once I got the hang of 
what JBuilder was doing, it was actually pretty nice.  Eclipse also has a 
fairly nice CVS feature.
