[kdeui] return type of KActionCollection::actionsOfType()

[Jarosław Staniek]

1. A question about:

template<class T>
   KAction* KActionCollection::actionsOfType(   const QString &   name )const

Logic and the docs say "Returns: A list of all KActions in the collection 
which match the parameters" but it's return type is KAction* instead of 
QList<KAction*> ...

How does it even compile?


2. actionsOfType() could return QList<T*>.

Reasoning: if I am looking for a given type, I'll be most probably try to use 
it's methods, e.g. KSelectAction::comboWidth(). SO why should I cast again?


Attached a prototype patch: kactioncollection.h.patch
