Hi Friedrich,

I use both ccache and distcc to do my compiling for me in my little 8 machine 
farm of varying hardware.  The way I do it, and it's always worked great for 
me with KDE is this:

My g++ links to a simple bash script (don't forget to make it executable).

/usr/bin/g++ -> /usr/bin/ccache-distcc-g++-3.3.sh

ccache-distcc-g++-3.3.sh looks like this:

#!/bin/bash
ccache distcc g++-3.3 $@

g++-3.3 is of course the real binary.

I did the same for gcc and cpp. 

Hope that helps,
James
