Review request for kdelibs.
Changes
-------
Applied all changes suggested by Jaros?aw.
Summary
-------
KMessageWidget is a new widget which can be considered as a less intrusive alternative for KMessageBox. It was designed during KDE UX sprint 2011 ( http://community.kde.org/Sprints/UX2011/KMessageWidget ).
The class documentation should make it clear how and when it can be used.
This widget could be used by:
- Browsers to implement their "remember password" widgets (Konqueror, Rekonq...)
- Forms to provide feedback on validation errors
- Bluedevil KCM to replace its custom "No Bluetooth adapter have been found" message widget
- Nepomuk/Strigi KCM to indicate status of their services
- Gwenview to replace its custom save bar
- ...
I still have a few additions in mind for the API but it is already usable and since we are freezing I think it can be merged in master in its current state. I assume it will still be possible to extend the API a bit before kdelibs 4.7 freezes for good.
I also wrote an example program in the kdeexample repository ( https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdeexamples/repository/show?rev=agateau%2Fkmessagewidget ), though I am wondering whether it shouldn't be moved in kdeui/tests as it is more a manual test program than an example.
