As do I, which is why they that header was set to not be installed.  But that 
is moot now (see below).

If you ever come to the USA stop by and I will buy you a beer or pizza or.... 
:-D  This is exactly the solution that I have been looking for the past two 
weeks.  Everyone I spoke didn't know of a way.

Very cool. :-D  I saw it was a little out of date a fixed a few things such as 
KColorButton was missing.  I have modified KAutoConfig tonight to use the 
above and the class is much smaller, faster, etc.  Many thanks.  Guess I 
should remove it from kdeui and place it back in kdecore were it started out 
sense it no longer deals with Widgets persay.  I will commit it tomarrow 
evening after some more testing to make sure it all works as it should.
