It may still be possible to do some of this by calling parentWidget the=20
correct number of times on the correct widget.  But that seems like black=20
magic to me right now...

To be honest, since classes resumed I haven't had as much time to play with=
=20
this as I'd have liked, which is why I haven't bugged the list about it aga=
in. =20
It would be nice to provide some convenience functions that would make this=
=20
easier. =20

It's on gitorious at:

git://gitorious.org/publish-to-docker/publish-to-docker.git

I'll try to clean up the development branch I've been working on a little a=
nd=20
push my latest attempt at this to gitorious tonight.

Right now, I use KoDocument (which is in libs/main), but I guess I could us=
e=20
KoOdfDocument instead.  Before, I was using the static KoDocument::document=
s=20
function to get stuff, but I think I've finally figured out how to get the=
=20
"current" document from the shape controller.  I wasted several days before=
 I=20
realized I was missing a "public" in front of my inheritance of=20
KoCanvasObserverBase:

"class PublishWidget : public QDockWidget, KoCanvasObserverBase {"

isn't the same as

"class PublishWidget : public QDockWidget, public KoCanvasObserverBase {"

Which led to some really bizarre behavior and left me scratching my head fo=
r a=20
long time....

I'd like to thank everyone who's helped with this.  It's great working with=
=20
developers who are courteous and understanding of someone who's still just=
=20
getting used to the code base. =20

Hopefully, I can give back by helping with more than just a plugin or two h=
ere=20
and there...

Robert
