[PATCHES] KCModule changes and kutils fixes

[Rafael Fernández López]

Hi Matthias and all,

As you can see in the KCModuleLoader and KCModuleProxy code there's no event
> processing happening between instantiating the KCModule and connecting the

Yeah is just the fact that hard coded values makes me nervous... but as the
commit says it can be happily reverted if it is confusing. I'm not against
renaming the method either.

Which is the reason why my gut feeling is against the init method (which is

Yep.Probably it sounds like a private method name. We can rename it to
something else. It is not a problem, the important thing is what it does.

You're saying load() won't work because it will "emit changed(false)"? But

No, I'm saying that if we usually call load() from the constructor of the
KCModule we are still on the same problem, because that emit changed(true)
that is supposed to be on the load() method (what I don't consider is right,
because we want that to happen when the plugin is loaded the first time, not
other times: note that if a plugin changed and the user clicks "Cancel", as
the dialog is "cached", load() is called) is not connected to any slot yet.


In summary: I don't think we have enough justification for init().


Right. We could call kcm->load() after the connections are done. What do you
think ?

Could you please revert my patch ? I have never reverted a patch and I've no
SVN right now (probably ADSL is coming today...), and I wont be able to be
on the other place with ADSL within Monday. That is the reason because I did
the commit since I hadn't time to come back on Monday. Sorry.


Bye and thank you,
Rafael Fernández López.
