hmm... of course :-)

sample of my include path, and incomplete:
----------------%<---------------
/home/tdf/git/core/vcl/inc/
/home/tdf/git/core/tools/inc/
/home/tdf/git/core/sfx2/inc/
/home/tdf/git/core/comphelper/inc/
/home/tdf/git/core/ucbhelper/inc/
----------------%<---------------

The idea is to have a regexp to get all these "inc's" in one line...
otherwise I 'll have to enter dozens of lines...

version 4.9.5 in a kubuntu 12.10 machine

I reported a bug last week.

I also noticed that cache corruption/crash occurs when I shut down the
user session before Kdevelop ends its housekeeping.

Since the cache is possibly quite large, closing the Kdevelop session
immediatly closes kdevelop windows, but kdevelop process is still
running for a while (1 or 2 minutes).
