Please note, I am not able to upload the fixes at the moment, because CVS
seems not be avaible.

Can you please give me a pointer how to do it? I already use KConfigXT, but
I don't know how to "generate" the config dialog code from it. Of course I
can just split the ui file, but if there is an automagic way, I like to use
it.

I will explain the behaviour in the handbook. I don't want a result dialog,
the current results are always avaible in the stat window. And the user can
reset the stats to start some kind of test. So no result widget is needed.

You have to enlarge the whole window. Nevertheless, I removed a spacer, so
the problem should be gone.

It works, I checked it. I fixed the tab order, but tabbing works. Maybe you
have to click one time in the window where you want to tab, but I don't have
to do it.

fixed

I have choosen the color mix so that the application looks a little bit more
friendly. The colors don't have a deeper meaning. Of course I can use the
same colors for numerators, denominators, operation signs, fraction bars and
so on. It is not a big problem. So should I really change the icons?

Please go on, this helps pretty much!

It is not the purpose of the application. Such a function would fit in
KEduca, I think.
