Hmm, with that answer I think that means that you may not know a usecase 
thats pretty common now;
a user tweaks the GUI by altering the kword.rc file and by just installing 
that replacement file he gets a new UI.
No recompile needed.

This is very usefull for usecases where KWord is made to look like 
MSWindows with altered menus and toolbars.  Or any other application. 
Friends just send the kword.rc file to each other.

The application of that usecase to the new workflow meant that the user 
will start up designer and tweak the UI from there. Making mistakes 
produces no warning whatsoever and shows the new (but useless) menu item. 
Hence my request.

I am starting to worry if this framework is not too focussing on one and 
only one workflow blocking out cool things that we can do right now with 
a pretty versatile framework.  Happy to be proved wrong, though ;)
