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

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

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 and 
push my latest attempt at this to gitorious tonight.

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

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

Hopefully, I can give back by helping with more than just a plugin or two here 
and there...

Robert
