Yup. I'm glad I did this class in kfm, most of the old code didn't survive.

I'd recommend using cvsup (http://www.kde.org/cvsup.html)
to always work on the latest sources, in case it gets changed.
But knewmenu.cc has a low risk, so you can do as you prefer.

BUT: in any case, never send full files. Make a backup before
starting to hack, and run diff to generate a patch, which is what you should
send. This makes merging with other changes (and reviewing the change)
a lot easier.
diff -ur libkonq.orig libkonq
for instance.

Thanks for your contribution !
