Rather than adding facilities for KChart to send data back to KSpread
(which goes against the principle of separation), perhaps it would be
better if there was a generic mechanism for embedding applications to
add new pages to the configuration pages of embedded objects, and
possibly context / normal menu actions as well.  Note that the code
for creating the configuration pages and responding to user input
would lie in the embedding application.  Is this possible?
