Hi,

Thanks for the response and pardon for the late reply.

Yes, it's a namespace for static functions, so the static function 
questionYesNo() is under KMessageBox. It still needs kmessagebox.h to be 
included because that is where the functions are defined. But it links to 
KF5::WidgetAddons (in CMakeLists.txt).

Unless I got that wrong too. :)
