Indeed.. ;(
isn't completely deprecating the method a good idea?  Since the name seems
to imply this behavior (as the normal method shows the 'yes' as default).

I'm afraid that the concensus at the KDE3 meeting as well as the decision
there are not written down (as most things from these meetings are not).
 Hence I'm not really surprised that someone again though it was
particularly clever to add this.  (ok, ok I made the same mistake the first
time as well :)

So, I think we should not change this in code before 4.0.  Imidiately
updating the documentation and pointing out that this is against KDE
policy _is_ a good idea IMO.
