Maybe we don't need those slots as publically accessible functions at all
and instead just need to provide methods that do what you already
pasted as the common way of using them:

	KStdAction::cut(kapp, SLOT(cut()), actionCollection);

Perhaps something like:

KMainWindow::createAutomaticCutAction(KActionCollection *collection = actionCollection())

The slot itself may not be related to the mainwindow, but the action is
bound to it after all. (strictly speaking only to the actioncollection but hey,
we're trying to simplify the common case :)
