Right, KDevelop doesn't do any auto-indentation, all it does is run
astyle over your code when you choose the "Format" or "format Files"
Menu items. Auto-Indentation is completely done by the editor (which you
just turned off).

There are two places to configure the astyle options for that, one under
Settings and if you have a project open the project-specific settings
override those set under Settings. See Project->Project
Options->Formatting.
