Does there a class which implements the crash manager (kcm)?
How it named?
How does interact KDE with the underlying (Linux-)kernel?
How can I encapsulte the kcm to modify it? (see below)
(Want to add some generic and optional sys spec infos to the submitted

Yes I visited techbase. But there no doxyfile or so, I am right? :(
Secondary it is waste of time search the hole code to get complex 
structure infos if there is only five+ sentence by a developer needed to 
show me things work.

Therefore I can use kplugin or kpart, I am right?
