Thats your monitor. Not everybody has such a large monitor. I'm trying
to make the dialog work also on 1024x768..

Its 5 Pixel actually :)

I could leave it at the default value for tree's, but as I said that'll
be removing much from the visible data in low resolutions. Even more so
when I'm done adding yet another level to the tree to fix the current
ui-problem, but I'll keep this in mind and try to make the gap bigger if
I can.

This currently only works properly for CMake projects, as only those
keep the needed information. The idea is that you select an executable
Target from the project tree there, then kdevelop will automatically
know where the actual executable is based on the currently selected
build directory.
