Hi, 

no time to help out (KDevelop robbs my nerves) but I have an
idea/request/whatever:
would it be possible to read the KDE 1.x apps tree and compare with the
current KDE 2 installation for double binaries
(e.g. the KDE 1 installation has KWrite as well as the KDE 2 one) and
create desktop files for the KDE 1 programs that are not available under
KDE 2 ?

What I think of is: I have to have KDevelop 1.1 installed and to work
under KDE 2 correctly, I´ve made a shell script that sets QTDIR to the
1.44 directory, KDEDIR to the KDE 1.x directory and starts kdevelop from
the KDE 1 bindir. Having some kind like this would be nice to integrate
old programs compeltely and make them available in kicker.

Ralf
