I think this change is wrong, as it can lead to unexpected toplevel
widgets. Any code wanting to create a part without using the
createPart method of KParts::Factory but not passing a QWidget as
parent object is broken. If you really want to create a part where
the document has a normal parent object and the view is a toplevel
widget then you should use the dedicated KParts::Factory::createPart
method (or easier, KParts::ComponentFactory), where from the caller
code you can immediately see this very intention, unlike when using
the old-style create method which isn't designed for creating
instances of parts.
