Hi.

I've been always using kdevelop for helping me in the creation and management 
of Makefile.am's. Now, I've been reading the Makefile.am howto (thanks David) 
and the automake manual, but I still have some doubts:

a) KDevelop, when adding a new class, adds the source file to _SOURCES, of 
course, but the header is added in noinst_HEADERS. Both the howto, and the 
manual, say that they should be added to AM_CPPFLAGS (indeed, they are 
because $(all_includes) ). It's a minor bug in KDevelop, or it acts this way 
because a justified reason?

b) I've seen some applications that appear in Lost & Found. I see that they 
have in common installing the desktop file in $(kde_appsdir)/Applications/, 
which happens to be $(prefix)/share/applnk/Applications, and which was the 
default in some KDevelop 2 template.

Should this applications be upgraded? Or upgrading to the new xdg_apps_DATA 
means that they will not be compatible with old KDE releases? Because I found 
this in k3b's code:

# TODO: enable when we go KDE 3.2
#xdg_apps_DATA = k3b.desktop
# remove the following then
appsdir = $(kde_appsdir)/Multimedia
apps_DATA = k3b.desktop

What I don't understand is that k3b appears OK in my Multimedia menu, so, is 
there a way of being both backwards and forward compatible?

c) And the last one, I promise :-). Those Makefile.am's that KDevelop 2 
generated, include the "install-data-local" and "uninstall-local" targets to 
install icons and desktop files. If a package uses _DATA and _ICONS, should 
these targets be removed?

Thanks a lot in advance. ;-)
