For still-Qt3 people like me: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.0/qflags.html#details
The change looks sensible though.

Again, some cited documentation:
LockNoBlock
  Return immediately, do not wait for the lock to become available. 
LockForce
  Automatically remove a lock when a lock is detected that is stale for more 
than staleTime() seconds. 

Maybe KLockFile::Force could be made more descriptive, e.g.
KLockFile::RemoveStale or TakeStale?

Greetings,
