Hi,

with the introduction of Qt 4, Trolltech decided to drop the old QWizard cl=
ass=20
[1], which was used to write wizards *) That's why some KDE developers came=
=20
up with KWizard, which was renamed to KAssistantDialog [2] for naming=20
consistancy with other KDE Dialogs.

In Qt 4.3, which KDE now depends on, QWizard was reintroduced [3], albeit i=
n a=20
totally rewritten form. It now honors the individual style for WIzards on a=
ll=20
supported operating systems (and falls back to old Windows style for=20
Plastique).

The functionality seems to be at least equal, although the new QDialog clas=
s=20
seems to provide even more features, like a proper abstraction of each page=
=20
via QWizardPage.

KAssistantDialog is currently used in Kross, Kopete, KMail and KDevelop (ea=
ch=20
time only once). I'd volunteer to port them if the maintainers don't port i=
t=20
themselves and remove the KAssistantDialog class by next monday. Any=20
objections?

Cheers,
  Daniel
