Where to find this code

Hi JV,
I begin to wonder if the problem is that you are trying to debug a KMM
plugin. It is easy enough to debug a newly compiled kmymoney file, but
KDE/QT has its own way of finding plugins. As an experiment, after you
have run "make" find where the newly compiled plugins are. For this
example assume you ran make in .../kmm/build and the compiled plugins
are in the lib dir below that. Try running
'QT_PLUGIN_PATH=.../kmm/build/lib" kdevelop'.
Note I'm doing this mostly from memory, so if it doesn't work, someone
will have to confirm whether some of my details are wrong. I just don't
know if kdevelop accounts for that
