Mdify CMakeLists.txt in KDevelop, build again (which will automatically rerun 
cmake and regenerate the makefiles, which will then be used), done.
The only issue is that kdevelop won't automatically reload its project file, 
this means it doesn't know that a new file is now part of the project. This 
will happen on the next start of kdevelop (or if you add the file manually to 
the project).

No, there is no reliable way how any GUI could guess at which place under 
which conditions you might want to add the new source file to the target.
It's not always just:
add_executable(foo file1.cpp file2.cpp) 
but can be much more complicated, where some files are only added under 
special conditions, like which operating system, options enabled by the user, 
which software installed, etc.).
