yes, i have seen/runinto this problem...
this is why i would like to add this to the higher level, so we can get more 
meaningful names.  I guess would it be an option to "mangle" the names to 
look more readable?  This is what is so attractive about using the KDE UI 
classes, we can add these interfaces ourselves, and give them meaningful 
names.

Also the QObject bridge idea seems not to help me with the recording of 
actions.
