The object list window shows all texture declarations _inside_ the scene.
KPovModeler doesn't parse the povray include files as they contain some
objects and/or macros we don't support. Instead open one of the example
scenes (should be located in
$KDEDIR/share/apps/kpovmodeler/examples/includes/...) and copy the needed
texture declarations into your scene. The example scenes should contain
all standard povray 3.1 textures.

The library path is only used by povray to find external resources like
truetype fonts or images for height fields.

In the next major release we will have an object and texture library.

Greetings, Andreas
