I think we could share the files and dialog anyway as long as we make
them reasonably abstracted. I think Taj's approach is much cleaner.

On a similar subject, has anyone got any ideas about how to start adding
support for prefix keys to QAccel/QAction etc? One thing I do like about
MS Word is that I can rebind the keys to make them work like emacs - it
would be nice if we could do this to KWord too.
