Can you send me your old patch so that I get an idea of what needs to be done?

I have a look at it.

If you make changes to existing files you should try to stick with the style 
of that file. Apart from that set/get functions in the API should be named 
setXxxx() and xxxx(). And private member variables should be placed in a 
private class and acessed via a d pointer:

KMyClass {
....
private:
   KMyClassPrivate *d;
}
