<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">I think I disagree with the idea of overwriting KAboutData properties if they are already set by the user. Alex, any thoughts?
In the event the KAboutData doesn't already exist I think automatically setting it up makes sense, and QCoreApplication is a good source. But I would rather flag property conflicts than to break ties when developer selects two different values for same property, as that's change in behavior might break other parts of code that rely on KAboutData not changing values.
Would this partial solution be OK for the problem you're running into?</pre>

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">I think an else block should be added here that verifies whether the QCoreApplication properties are consistent with KAboutData's and if not, displays a big huge warning for each conflicting property.
I'd rather not initialize KAboutData from QCoreApplication if doing so would overwrite a non-empty KAboutData property, at least at this point. Seems to risk a very spooky 'action-at-a-distance' in code whose behavior would then depend on when you ran KAboutData::setApplicationData in relation to creating a QCoreApplication.</pre>
