Let me look at this, I don't think it is really much work.
If that volunteer won't appear, I'll hack it together tomorrow.

Hi All,

Maybe I'm not seeing something here, but where is the integration
between these classes? They all deal with related or similar
information, but it seems a developer has to:

Create the appropriate KAboutData
Create the appropriate KAboutDialog
Connect the showAboutApplication signal of KHelpMenu to a slot to show
his about dialog.

Surely it makes more sense for:

KHelpMenu to use KAboutDialog directly.
KAboutDialog to use KAboutData directly (this is blatantly missing)

Or, am I missing an obvious way to simplify telling a user about the
application.

Michael
