/**
 * \short Standard %KDE configuration dialog class
 *
 * The KConfigDialog class provides an easy and uniform means of displaying
 * a settings dialog using KPageDialog, KConfigDialogManager and a
 * KConfigSkeleton derived settings class.
 *
 * KConfigDialog handles the enabling and disabling of buttons, creation
 * of the dialog, and deletion of the widgets.  Because of
 * KConfigDialogManager, this class also manages: restoring
 * the settings, reseting them to the default values, and saving them. This
 * requires that the names of the widgets corresponding to configuration entries
 * have to have the same name plus an additional "kcfg_" prefix. For example the
 * widget named "kcfg_MyOption" would be associated with the configuration entry
 * "MyOption".
 *
 * Here is an example usage of KConfigDialog:
 *
 * \code
 * void KCoolApp::showSettings(){
 *   if(KConfigDialog::showDialog("settings"))
 *     return;
 *   KConfigDialog *dialog = new KConfigDialog(this, "settings", MySettings::self());
 *   dialog->setFaceType(KPageDialog::List);
 *   dialog->addPage(new General(0, "General"), i18n("General") );
 *   dialog->addPage(new Appearance(0, "Style"), i18n("Appearance") );
 *   connect(dialog, SIGNAL(settingsChanged(const QString&)), mainWidget, SLOT(loadSettings()));
 *   connect(dialog, SIGNAL(settingsChanged(const QString&)), this, SLOT(loadSettings()));
 *   dialog->show();
 * }
 * \endcode
 *
 * Other than the above code, each class that has settings in the dialog should
 * have a loadSettings() type slot to read settings and perform any
 * necessary changes.
 *
 * For dialog appearance options (like buttons, default button, ...) please see
 * @see KPageDialog
 *
 * @see KConfigSkeleton
