KSelectAction

[Clarence Dang]

Does KSelectAction work for anyone?  I'm trying to get the KolourPaint zoom 
action working.

I see 3 problems with KSelectAction:

1. While selecting one of the items in the menu representation initially emits 
"triggered(int)" and "currentItem()" reports the right value, after 
re-entering the event loop, the item is magically deselected.

2. The combobox representation is not synchronised with the action at all.  
QComboBox does not support QAction natively so some signals need to be 
connected.

3. currentText() returns "&MyString" (i.e. it adds the accelerator) instead of 
"MyString" (where "MyString" is passed to setItems()).  This is unexpected 
and a subtle change from KDE 3.

If you want to see what I mean, compile trunk/KDE/kdegraphics/kolourpaint with 
the attached patch (which just adds some debugging and bypasses problem 3.).
Then, try the "View / Zoom" submenu and the corresponding combobox in the 
toolbar.

If no one replies, I'm going to start hacking on KSelectAction.

Thanks,
Clarence
