for KDE widgets, sure. but you'd have to reimplement all painting routines
(QPainter::drawText() sets the mnemonic flag) - and thus all widgets just for
this purpose... and as soon as an app says e.g. 'new QLabel("text", parent)'
you're out :-( (so you shifted the problem from "telling styles to not do
weird things on mnemonics" to "telling all apps to migrate to KDE classes
only" ... :-\
overmore KDE apps would stop to integrate on other DEs (while one could check
the environment and/or provide a checkbox for this) but "we need to
reimplement QLabel to override Qt's mnemonic strategy and thus you must not
use e.g. QLabel - or any 3rd party inheritor" is afaik the showstopper for
this.
another option was to force the usage of a general proxystyle - but this can
lead to quite some trouble as well (i.e. "forcing" maybe the wrong approach,
"providing" was likely better - i wrote one to allow e.g. all styles to make
use of the XBar and later on the GMBv2 protocol - no issues on some rough
tests, but also nothing i'd "force load" by any app) - unfortunately /not/
autolading it is rather inconvenient... i'm still looking for a more
transparent solution
the solution to your problem is however as simple as mentioned:
make it configurable or usefully preset by KStyle and ask at least styles
shipped with KDE not to override it.
and if another style breaks that, it's users will be either confident with it
or start mourning (the reason why i made it configurable...).
as styles are a) plugins and b) expression of the users personal taste, i
don't see any problem on this. *shrug*
