Yah! Glad to see more applications getting converted over that havn't been.
8 months ago or so I converted a dozen or so apps, but know that there are
more.  Maybe we should start up a KDE-Janitors group to go around and fix
up old/abandoned kde apps to the new kde technology. Such things as

-Making sure all app use XMLUI/KAction stuff
-Making sure GCC3.2 compiles and fixing any errors
-Making sure they don't have icons that kde already has
-Converting all of the current kde games to use the KGamesLib (Or those
that are left)
-Making sure they all use the KDEAboutBox
-Making sure they all use KWidget vs QWidget (KApplication vs QApplication
for example)
-Removing any calls and or classes that are outdated with the new ones.
-Remove any custom QInputDialog etc classes that were made by developers
who didn't know enough of Qt
-Removing all C calls for replacemnt Qt calls that exists (use QDateTime!!!)
-Making sure they all use the args class and not their own string parsing
-Using the built in icon loader, kconfig, library loading etc (i.e. dump
the custom duplicate code!)
-Removing X11 calls when not really needed or putting them in ifdefs for a
possible fb version of kde
etc, etc

I am sure that there are many more things that people can list off the top
of their heads.  These types of tasks are not the most fun and in many
cases getting close to grep will make it easier, but it _is_ needed in
helping to make all of kde more consistant.

On the plus side this would be an excellent way for many developers to get
into helping on the kde project.  They wouldn't have to join one project
and get to see alot of kde/qt while working on small simple things. And it
would require not much more then a file in CVS containing the listing of
current projects and a one or two page website.

Feedback?  Good bad idea?

Subject: [PATCH] XMLGUIfy kiconedit


Hi all,

Here is a big patch that changes kiconedit to use XMLGUI and makes a 
few small fixes. There are a few minor message changes too. I know its
a bit late for 3.1 for this patch, but I would be happy if it goes in.
Otherwise I am happy to wait till after 3.1 to commit it.

Cheers,
