Oh, ok, so I'll search for the manual first.

Not a C++ problem. It seems like KDevelop sets this when compiling with
debug symbols. Don't know why. Adding "-fexceptions" to "own options"
doesn't help, as they are put on the command line before KDevleop's flags.
But without debug symbols it works.

Now if i exactly knew what a primitive is...

KDE has an own class KConfig, just do a config->SetGroup("xy"); and a
config->WriteEntry("name", value); and you get a
~/.kde2/share/config/prognamerc with:

  [xy]
  name=value

in it. I just have to know what to put there besides the rig numerical (as
below).

I have some time to read it at my grandparents' on Saturday. The regional
ham club meeting (Distriktsversammlung) is on Sunday, so the weekend is
already filled up

OK, I have to leave now and catch my train home. We have our monthly local
ham meeting at 20:00.
