Woah! That's exactly what I was missing. :)
I've already spent the last few hours reading it (slowly) starting from the 
very beginning. I'll study it throughout carefully.

I had the feeling I was doing something wrong... Thanks for correcting me.

Yep. That's one of the first things on my TODO list. I've made a small start 
already.

All these years, I've been using vim to code in PHP. I liked it enough. 

Someone recently recommended Eclipse Helios (on the Drupal devel list). I 
tried it a bit but found it too heavy.

I remember having tried kdevelop 3, a few years ago, but it was not stable 
then and back then I was not yet committed to any serious C++ project.

I think I'll follow your advice and give kdevelop 4 another try as soon as I 
am more familiar with the basics of C++ programming. I am a fan of KDE in 
general (using Kubuntu), so kdevelop should be a natural choice, now.


Thanks again for your most useful pointers.

Blessings,

Augustin.
