After you run: "configure", just 'cd' to kpaint and 'make'

To start with -- if you don't add more files -- the existing Makefile.am 
should work.

Yes (sort of).  The Makefile.am is what starts the process.  When automake 
is run, it produces Makefile.in which the configure script uses to make the 
Makefile.  If you are using the CVS for this, there is a script that does 
all of this.  Just run:

	make -f Makefile.cvs

in the: "kdegraphics" directory.  To make only one application, just change 
directories after running: "configure" (this won't work if there are 
dependencies).
