Argh! And I wrote a KActionWidget some time ago (for KNotes only ATM). The 
purpose was being able to plug many actions into a widget, thus KActionWidget 
inherits from QWidget. The layout of the widgets can either be modified by 
subclassing KActionWidget or by using a member method, the first one being 
more powerful. I need this for KNotes because I don't have toolbars or 
menubars in KNotes and I can't use toolbars because they need a mainwindow as 
parent :-(

So to my question: can't we either merge the two ideas or rename KWidgetAction 
to something like KToolbarWidgetAction? IMHO KActionWidget is a more 
appropriate name for my concept.

PS: sorry for reading this thread so late...
