Kdevelop 4 Assistance?

Hi Everyone,

I recently upgraded Ubuntu, and it feels like I lost my IDE.  I need a 
tutorial or documentation on how to get Kdevelop 4 set up as nicely as 
Kdevelop 3.5 was in the previous version of Kdevelop.  Here are some 
questions I am seeking answers to:

1)  How do I add QT documentation to the Documentation panel.  Presently 
it says "There is no documentation selected yet."
2)  How do I add an environment variable before launching the 
application?  (There seems to be a pull down tab now that doesn't do 
anything for me.)
3)  How do I add the QT source so that I can look at definitions there, 
etc.?
4)  How do I make "Jump to Declaration" or "Jump to Definition" work.  
Presently, nothing happens when I highlight a function call and I select 
those from the navigation menu?
5)  How do I go back to a place where I just was after using the code 
browser link to see what is going on?
6)  Is there a way to get the editor to use the same code formatting 
that the present source is using?  (I don't like reformatting it, 
because then when I check that back into SVN, the important changes are 
lost in the process and other developers will have the same problem I am 
now facing.)
7)  How do I get Kdevelop Help intalled?  Right now, I get "There is no 
documentation available for /kdevelop/index.html."
8)  Is there a Kdevelop 4 Tutorial somewhere?
9)  Is there a good way to install Kdevelop 3.5 on Ubuntu 9.10?  I tried 
https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Karmic and then installing 
Kdevelop 3.5, but there were errors in the installation, so I 
uninstalled KDE 3.5.
10)  How do I get "What's this?" documentation installed?
11)  What is the "Enable Source Browse Mode" supposed to do?  I seem to 
have the code browser things working all the time, whether this is 
selected or not.

I am kind of getting the idea that Kdevelop 4 is not really ready for 
real development use, and I perhaps I should spend my effort trying to 
get Kdevelop 3.5 installed again.  What do you recommend?

Thanks,

Rob
