Well, the problem is that if they are in a file and not in the API, they 
won't get used :) So we need a classname for that or add an enum to 
KMessageBox for that. Also, the KIO error reporting on file actions are a 
cause for that because you get a value back but the developer needs to 
interpret that. So a mapping between those would help I think (I mean, map an 
error to an error string). I *very* much support this idea also.
