some things I've learned while working on kcmicons:
- you can install in a dir contained in KDEDIRS if you want
- use adddebug script from kdesdk while compiling your module
- if you use gdb, install the gdb-qt resource file that is in kdesdk
- to debug:
  * gdb kcmshell
  * run <moduleName>
  * press CTRL-C on the shell
  * use break methodName<TAB>
  * continue
  now gdb will break while entering that method and you can use all its nice 
functions (next, step, list, print...)
