please coordinate with the kofffice team. they have just started looking at=
 a=20
new color chooser widget.

and honestly, i don't think this complexity is needed by the vast majority =
of=20
colour using applications, and therefore in kdelibs. think of the person=20
picking colours for use in kmail or katepart ... do they really need this=20
feature or would it be just one more piece of widgetry in there? note that =
a=20
bunch of work has already been done on the colour picker dialog for kde4,=20

ck=20

advanced colour choosing go into koffice's widget since they have real use=
