Well.. yes.. but... All other KDE dialogs will be based on KDialogBase.
With KMessageBox based on QMessageBox it will deviate in style from our
other dialogs.

I would like to introduce dialogs with a "Don't show this message
again" checkbox. With KDialogBase this is very simple. With QMessageBox
this seems to be impossible.

Cheers,
Waldo
