I just realised that too.... currently re-building my KDE4 as well - I 
found KDevelop would not rebuild, then rebuild everything EXCEPT QT, and 
well that did not work - so am starting again - should be done soon - 
but it is a bit slow on my poor little laptop (pentium m 2GHz 512Mb and 
laptop HDD - the killer seems to be RAM - I might put in for an upgrade 
at work :-) )...
I have been planing on upgrading my desktop software WinXP->Kubuntu :-) 
and this is about to trip me over the edge - but I might try an external 
USB2 HDD... first

I don't think I will - I was just trying to get Quanta to compile 
changed some Koncrete::Core to KDevelop::ICore,
Koncrete::Plugin to KDevelop::IPugin, and header files, etc... but got 
stuck at the mainwindow pointer problem...and spent a bit of time trying 
to find a solution (where it is accessable from - but I worked out that 
the UiController does not have it yet!...
So not needed for CSS Editor, but for Quanta to compile...

I have learned quite a bit from getting Quanta to compile, and I am sure 
it will help... and it was a bit of fun, but I will see what you have 
done to get it working to figure out if what I was doing is right...

I wanted to see if I could get Quanta compiling to make it easier to 
work on the CSS Editor...
