I searched the API and found no class named KStdAction.  Perhaps you meant to 
say merging the functionality of KGuiItem into KAction, which to me seems 
like a good idea (and consequently, replacing the awkwardly-named KStdGuiItem 
with a KStdAction class).

I've considered consider doing that ... it would only take a few minutes.

Another thing that is annoying to the developer is the fact that icon names 
are inconsistent. For instance, you have fileopen, editcopy, editpaste, but 
then you have undo and redo.  Of course, if you are using KStdGuiItem that 
doesn't matter.
