Review request for KDE Software on Mac OS X, Plasma and Yichao Yu.


Changes
-------

For completeness sake, read the `onlyTicksInMenu` option from the GTk2 theme too.


Repository: qtcurve


Description
-------

This introduces an option (hidden for now) to adorn checked menu items with only a \
check mark rather than the same widget that is used for checkboxes or radio buttons \
(for sets of mutually exclusive menu items).

Initially I implemented this by simply skipping the widget "box" and drawing only the \
checkbox tick for both kinds of menu items (cf. \
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363895). I then realised that this looks weird \
when the user uses a very tall or tiny font (or has a high DPI screen). Therefore the \
check is now generated using the UniCode `Check Mark` glyph (? cf. \
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2713/index.htm) rendered in the menu \
font (or `Apple Symbols`, on OS X).

A new member is introduced in the `Options` structure that controls this new \
behaviour. Its value is read from and written to the config file, but I have not yet \
implemented its UI control through the configuration interface. I'll want some \
guidance for that step.

I propose to make this the default behaviour on OS X, so that popup menus can be \
closer in appearance to the native menus from the toplevel menubar (those menus are \
not rendered through Qt, and use a single check mark too).

The GTk2 style already rendered checked menu items like this so I did not change \
anything there (and don't really plan to touch that code at all).
