I'm not sure returning a widget is the cleanest API. I'm guessing
you're talking about some sort of "KComboBox *
KGameDifficulty::comboBox()" method, but that raises a couple issues.
Who owns the widget returned? If the method is called second time, is
a pointer to the same widget returned or a pointer to a new widget?

Personally, I'd recommend to instead create a new
KGameDifficultyComboBox class the inherits KComboBox and automatically
hooks itself up KGameDifficulty. It would probably just be a matter of
make the existing widget public.
