No, you missunderstanding me.

Example:

	<?xml...>
	<XMLUI version="0.1">
		<MAINWIDGET type="KDialog" varname="exampleDlg">
			<CHILDWIDGET type="KPushButton" varname="btnOK" X="10" Y="10" W="100" 
H="100">
				<TEXT>&amp;Ok</TEXT>
			</CHILDWIDGET>
			<CHILDWIDGET type="KPushButton" varname="btnCancel" X="10" Y="40" W="100" 
H="20">
				<TEXT>&amp;Cancel</TEXT>
			</CHILDWIDGET>
			<CONNECT SIGNAL="btnOK::clicked()" SLOT="accept()"/>
			<CONNECT SIGNAL="btnCancel::clicked()" SLOT="reject()"/>
		</WIDGET>
	</XMLUI>

Something like this, I think u got it...

And now, we have a xmlui class, who is taking this file, analysing it, and 
build an instance of KDialog, this the children btnOk and btnCancel, connect 
automatically the signale clicked() of both widgets to the slots accept() and 
reject() of KDialog(exampleDlg).

But, we don't need to compile it, we generate it at runtime.

This is what I have in mind.

Something like the windows resources at the end of the EXE file (i don't know 
if this is today the case in windows..but win 3.x had it ;))

An idea, but I don't know if this would work.
