I could also combine them and add both the short-form and long-form constructors.  I guess the question is: do we want to push users towards a particular style?  The "short constructors and setters" is what Qt has been moving towards, on the basis it makes more readable code; do we want to do the same with this class?

The organization domain stuff has a fallback to "kde.org"; currently this doesn't really matter, as we don't actually do anything with it.  But if we're passing it to QCoreApplication, we should think about in the frameworks world (with a hopefully wider audience for these frameworks) we really want that default there.

It's easy enough to make the homepage setter change the organization domain if the org dom was never explicitly set (a bool flag would do the trick).

I went with not allowing any optional arguments to the constructor, to encourage users of the class to use setters, which makes for more readable code.  I deliberated giving it just one argument, but in the end went with the formerly-required arguments.

It could be set if the organizationDomain has not been explicitly set.  However, the organizationDomain is not passed to QCoreApplication as I assumed it would be - it that intentional?
