ok, for the time being, I'll assume it's a kdelibs issue. Illias, please keep 
this issue in mind when the KDE4 release comes near, and test again, then.

Yes, indeed. The katepart tries to be a little too smart, here. It thinks 
symbol names may never contain a dot, and will abort the completion popup, 
when it sees a dot. I wrote to the kate devels about it.

Ok, this one should be fixed, now.

No, unfortunately, this won't be possible. This setup page is part of the kate 
part, and we can not access it directly. I hope it will be possible to strip 
out some settings that are not relevant in RKWard, but it won't be possible 
to merge it.
