Well the name is wrong then.
Stuff like kdesktop made an extensive use of it and removing kwmmoduleapp
without any hint about how to port to the new stuff wasn't really nice.

BTW, many many thanks to Cristian for porting kdesktop !

Didn't see that (no #warning) and wouldn't have helped anyway, without
the new class nor any KDE2PORTING instructions.

Told you on kde-cvs.

Great.

Well we don't have the choice, have we ?
