Hi Alexander :-)

This actually works! It has to be done after having called setupGUI(), jus=
t to
notice this, otherwise, one still gets a nullptr.

What I did in the example I wrote before:

    #include <KXMLGUIFactory>
    #include <QMenu>

    ...

    setupGUI(Keys | Save | Create, "demoui.rc");

    auto *guiFactory =3D this->guiFactory();
    auto *subMenu =3D dynamic_cast<QMenu *>(
        guiFactory->container("subMenu", this));
    subMenu->menuAction()->setIcon(QIcon::fromTheme("document-save-all"));

    ...

I really tried hard to read the docs. And I really searched! But honestly,
there's no way to grasp this (for somebody not having worked with this for
ages or so). This should be either mentioned somewhere in a tutorial/howto=
 or
some more intuitive way to get a menu pointer should be available imo ...

At least, the mailing list archive now knows this, so that possibly, one w=
ill
be able to find this when googling it later.

Thanks a lot :-)

Tobias
