The directory you have there (meta-kde-3.1.2) has all of the source used to build the binary package 'kde-core'. Perhaps the thing you are looking for the source code of isn't actually in the kde-core package. (I don't know, I don't use kde nor do I know how its package are organized) -D -- Python is executable pseudocode.
