yes, there is a new QObject parent class to use instead dialog. this
object need to be improved especially to support progress info as
current dialog classes from digiKam.

In this QObject (named EditorTool), you set view widget, and settings
widget. An EditorToolInterface use these widgets to plug or unplugi
automatically the preview and settings from canvas and sidebar.

The editor canvas is now a QWidgetStack. It switch automatically to
canvas or tool preview accordingly with EditorToolInterface.

So the job in all image plugins will be to port all Kdialog relevant
classes to EditorTool. in current code preview and settings code are
already done properlly. we just need to adapt code as well. But it's
will be better to separate all settings widget code in all plugins for
a better visiblity.

There are also a list of signal/slots to connect of course. This will
require a lots of regression tests.

After RawImport, i plan to port an image plugin (AdjustCurves for ex)
to polish the editor core implementation). After that all others
plugins must be ported as well and later, backporting code to KDE4
